MOTION NO. 6

MOTION: Councillor M. Duff

'That this Area Committee calls on the Chief Executive to carry out an urgent inspection of the small plantation of trees at Glenview Lawns on the Tallaght Road and of the trees on the embankment on the N81 that backs on to Glenview Lawns. The trees in both areas of Glenview Lawns are a constant source of concern to local residents, who claim some of the trees are dangerously overgrown.'

REPORT:

The poplar trees at the side and rear of Glenview lawns will be surveyed and any maintenance work required as a result of the survey will be scheuled. As part of the N81 enhancement scheme, sycamore and self seeded trees and a 5m band of vegetation were removed from boundary. In addition, trees were removed from the area near the retaining wall at the rear of Glenview Lawns backing onto the Tallaght bypass and the area was planted with low growing seasonal shrubs.
