QUESTION NO. 4

QUESTION: Councillor Eoin Ó Broin

"In relation to the on street bicycle pump that was installed at the 9th Lock in Clondalkin, but has now been removed due to neglect and vandalism, to ask the Chief Executive: - the cost of the unit? - the cost of an external contractor installing the unit? - the cost of each maintainence call out from an external contractor? - in what section of Budget 2020 and Budget 2021 are such items included? - if the CCTV adjacent to the bicycle pump has been utilized to monitor use and vandalism of the pump?

REPLY:

The bicycle maintenance stand was removed because it was continually vandalised.  It was repaired on two occasions by the contractor who installed it.  The Council have been informed that the last time it was vandalised it was not feasible to repair, and removed it. 

The Council will not be replaicing the stand as it is just costing too much to repair every time it was vandalised. 

New tender will issue next year for stands and will be placed elsewhere in the Clondalkin area.

The maintenance stands cost approximately €3,000 each to supply.    

Land Use Planning and Transportation do not monitor the CCTV at this location.
