MOTION NO. 18

MOTION: Councillor D. O'Donovan

To ask the Manager to report on the location of bins within the Dodder Valley Park and what steps are being taken to deal with anti-social behaviour and litter within the park.

REPORT:

Litter bins are in place at many of the entrances to the Dodder Valley Park and in the car parks which serve it.  These locations are at Old Bawn Road, Seskin View Road, Bawnville, the car parks at Firhouse Road and Cherryfield and a number of entrances to the park along Firhouse Road and at Mount Carmel.  There are currently no litter bins provided within the park however a commitment has been given in the past to provide some.  This matter is being examined at the present time to determine suitable locations for both seating and bins as provided for in the 2020 public realm improvement works programme, taking other issues into consideration such as facilities which are being developed in the park at present time as well as other facilities which will be developed such as the planned play trail, nature trail and the Dodder Greenway plan.
