COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, October 24, 2017

MOTION NO. 22

MOTION: Councillor R. Nolan

"That this Committee requests more frequent empting of the bottle banks at Ballyowen Shopping Centre and to ensure that the cctv works. The area is in a constant mess with overflowing banks particularly the clothes one. It is a constant eyesore in that area."

REPORT:

The schedule for cleaning around the recycling facilities is for three times weekly by Council personnel – on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.  In recent years unauthorised textile banks arrived on this site and were contributing to additional dumping. Three of the 4 textile banks were removed in August this year and the layout of the remaining recycling banks were reconfigured. This has reduced the secluded areas that were prone to dumping and improved the cleanliness of the facility.

There are currently CCTV Cameras installed at this location. Enforcement action is taking place and fines have issued.  Audio Devices will also be installed at this location further advising the public of their responsibilities.
