MEETING OF CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Wednesday, September 20, 2017

QUESTION NO. 4

QUESTION: Councillor M. Ward

"Can the mechanical sweeper that is used regularly in Clondalkin and Lucan Village be used to sweep the Neilstown Road from Letts Field right through to St Bernadette's School in Quarryvale as regular as both villages?"

REPLY:

"The mini mechanical sweeper that is currently on hire in the Corkagh District is used to sweep footpaths in Clondalkin Village, Lucan Village and cycle paths on the R136 and cycle paths connecting to the R136 between Clondalkin and Lucan. Any spare capacity is utilised within parks where the mechanical sweeper is deployed to sweep paths and other large hard standing areas. Neilstown Road is swept by the Councils Road Sweeping contractor which is currently Oxygen Environmental Ltd. A review of current routes will be undertaken to see if the cycle paths on the Neilstown Road can be added to the area swept by the mini sweeper."
