SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

Monday, September 24, 2018

MOTION NO. 2

MOTION: Councillor B. Ferron

"That this Committee calls on the Chief Executive to arrange a clean-up and pruning of trees to the rear of Avonmore Park. Residents have complained that the trees are dangerous and that there is also rat infestations in this area."

REPORT:

"The tree planting along the rear boundaries of properties in Avonmore Park was inspected. The planting provides privacy, security and prevents access to the private properties. A tree at the rear of 15 Avonmore Park was identified as overhanging the property and this tree will be listed for removal.  However consideration will need to be given by residents to the possibility of opening up this strip to opportunities for anti-social behaviour.  The Council will arrange to meet with residents of Avonmore Park to discuss this proposal.

In the meantime, this area will be listed for inspection by the Pest Control unit and treatment if nescessary.
