MOTION NO. 1

MOTION: Councillor B. Bonner

Cathaoirleach's Business

"This committee asks that the issues with tree pruning on St John's Ave, Clondalkin could be addressed with particular attention to the tree that is causing a risk to children playing because of the low branches that mean they are at risk of being hit cars.  Also that the trees which are causing the footpaths to lift and causing serious trip issues outside (addresses supplied).   Also that the trees that are obscuring street lights 43 and 44 would be pruned."  

REPORT:

St. John's Avenue is not included on the 2017-2019 Tree Maintenance Programme.  However, the trees have been inspected and arrangements will be made as soon as possible to carry out removal of low branches and pruning in the vicinity of the street light as necessary.  With the exception of these works, the trees are not considered to require any further maintenance at this time.  The footpaths at the locations indicated will be advised to the Council's Roads Maintenance Section for inspection and follow-up.
