QUESTION NO. 14

QUESTION: Councillor Yvonne Collins

To ask the Chief Executive when we may expect litter bins to be installed in Dodder Valley Park, particularly at Cherryfield, given previous commitments and the urgent need to keep the park litter free and a safe and healthy amenity for all, particularly in the current public health emergency.

REPLY:

While litter bins are already provided at entrances to Dodder Valley Park and at the car parks which service the park, a commitment was given in 2019 to provide litter bins within the park itself.  There is provision in the Public Realm Improvement Works Programme in 2020 for the provision of seating in the park.   While the details of locations for new seating have not been decided on yet it is proposed that litter bins will also be provided at these seating locations.  This type of work is currently on hold due to the Covid 19 restrictions however it is proposed that it will resume after the lifting of restrictions.
