MEETING OF LUCAN/PALMERSTON/NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO. 29

MOTION: Councillor P. Gogarty

That the Chief Executive firms up the timescale for measures already agreed to install doors at stairwells in properties it rents at The Square/Sarsfield Close in Lucan village, as well as considers other measures such as additional lighting and CCTV to help minimise the risk of ongoing antisocial behaviour and intimidation at this location by non-residents using the area to take drugs and engage in other activities, as recent incidents have caused a lot of stress to the mainly older residents.

REPORT:

The advice received from the Council's Architect's Department reports that the installation of doors in this complex is not recommended because of the age of the complex and that compliance with the current Buildings Regulations would prove difficult.

In relation to young people using the areas for shelter, the Council have spoken to Lucan Garda Station who are in communication with the residents of the complex and have assigned a Community Garda to liaise directly with the tenants and increase patrols in the area. 

The installation of CCTV in the complex is not required at this time.

This Motion was unanimously Agreed and Moved without Debate
