SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL
MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM/TEMPLEOGUE-TERENURE AREA COMMITTEE
Tuesday, October 09, 2018
MOTION NO. 6
MOTION: Councillor S. Holland
"That this Area Committee requests the Chief Executive to install a litter bin at the bus shelter on Taylors Lane adjacent to Ballyboden Crescent. Schoolchildren buy and consume their lunches at the nearby shop and drop the litter at this spot, which blows all along the road."
REPORT:
It is an objective of the Litter Management Plan to continue to expand the litter bin stock around the County as deemed to be necessary. In this regard in order to optimise resources and ensure that bins are provided in the most cost effective manner, while ensuring that they deliver maximum service, it is important to establish the principles of where litter bins will / will not be provided.
Locations where requests for bins receive priority are:
- Town and village centres
- Vicinity of shops such as newsagents, food retailers, supermarkets
- Areas where people congregate e.g. bus stops, tram stops, post offices, public service buildings / offices
- Main routes to schools
- Larger parks greater than 16 hectares in size e.g. in the vicinity of play grounds and dog runs
All sites considered suitable for bin placement are subject to capacity of the location to facilitate safe access for maintenance vehicles (side loader).
The location referred to in the above will be examined and if deemed suitable a bin will be provided.
