SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM/TEMPLEOGUE-TERENURE AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, April 10, 2018

QUESTION NO. 6

QUESTION: Councillor R. McMahon

"To ask the Chief Executive, in relation to the car park on the Kilininny Road, would it be possible to look at options to make this new public amenity less attractive as a dumping ground? 

There is a lot of flytipping in the carpark. At present the grass and hedgerow area are heavily littered with all manner of household litter and appliances.

The public lights are turned off at 10pm each evening but the gates are not locked, therefore the carpark is very enticing to flytippers. 

With the large numbers of children moving through the area for the schools and soccer club, it is only a matter of time before a child is injured on the abandoned debris." 

REPLY:

"This location has been reported to the Council in recent times and the area in question was examined by the Litter Warden Service, however no evidence was found. The Council will liaise with relevant stakeholders in this area to see if it is possible to render the location less attractive as a dumping ground.  The area will also be scheduled for clean up on a more regular basis by the Public Realm Section.  The issues raised regarding public lighting and closing of the gates will be examined to establish if changes can be made in this regard to improve the situation."
