MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, September 19, 2017

QUESTION NO. 2

QUESTION: Councillor C. O'Connor

"To ask the Chief Executive to detail actions available to him in respect of the derelict condition of the site of the former Gallagher's factory on Greenhills Road noting the concern of the wider community at the poor image of the location and will he appreciate the view that effective action is now overdue?"

REPLY:

The Council has continued to engage with the property management company for the former Gallagher site since the last update provided to the March Area Committee Meeting (through Question 12). Significant progress has been made and a new fence and gates have been erected along Airton Road, new fencing provided along the entire site and the site is now secure.

We have established a good working relationship with the Property Manager and as it is acknowledged that there is littering at this location, and that the grass needs to be cut, we will further communicate in this regard.
