MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

QUESTION NO. 10

QUESTION: Councillor R. Nolan

"To ask the Chief Exective to note that the area on Balgaddy Road where the Rosse Court development ends before Divine Mercy is an absolute disgrace. There was a gated entrance to Rosse Court that was blocked up years ago and hedging was planted in front of it. This has been used as a dumping ground ever since. Large amounts of rubbish were set on fire there about a month ago. Now the hedging and the rubbish have spilled out all over the footpath creating a hazard for the children & parents attending the school. I am particularly concerned about a child in a motorised wheelchair who has to negotiate this every day & is forced out onto the grass & muck because of the mess. Can the council do something about this please?"

REPLY:

A clean-up of the area was recently undertaken and all dumped material was removed. The hedging which was growing onto the footpath has also been addressed and no longer presents a hazard.
