COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Wednesday, April 17, 2019

MOTION NO. 15

MOTION: Councillor J. Graham

"That this Committee agrees that a full tree survey of the Oatfield estate is carried out and all appropriate works deemed necessary are completed prior to the beginning of any footpath upgrades. It is illogical that any work would be done to footpaths, and monies misspent, if the footpaths are going to be damaged by problem trees."

REPORT:

The trees at Oatfield estate are scheduled for tree maintenance works on the 2019 Tree Maintenance Programme for the Clondalkin area. In advance of works being carried out at Oatfield, a full survey of all trees in the estate will be undertaken to determine the extent of the requirement for tree maintenance.  Arising from the survey, any works considered necessary will be scheduled and listed for completion. Discussion will take place with the Roads section regarding the ongoing maintenance work in the estate.
