MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

QUESTION NO.12

QUESTION: Councillor F. Timmons

That the Chief Executive issues a report on the Work of Tidy Towns in our county and issues a comment on same and that he looks at increasing the Budget for Tidy Towns in the upcoming budget and details how much is spent on Tidy Towns in SDCC budget and gives a breakdown of each LEA.

REPLY:

The Community Services Dept provides ongoing advice and assistance, including opportunities for funding assistance to 8 Tidy Towns Groups operating within the County. In addition advice, assistance and support is also available to other areas/groups within the County that may be interested in forming a new Tidy Towns Group.

The 2018 budget for the Tidy Towns Programme is 100K and from current analysis of funding requirements and applications submitted, it would appear that this same budget provision will be adequate to meet the needs of Tidy Towns Groups in 2019.

The breakdown of expenditure by LEA for 2017 was as follows:

Rathfarnham: €27,379

Terenure-Templeogue: €8,358

Tallaght South: €13,150

Clondalkin: €22,305

Lucan: €14,505
