MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

QUESTION NO.4

QUESTION: Councillor T. Costello

To ask the manager is there a road sweeping schedule, can i get a listing of areas in Tallaght included on it.

REPLY:

All main roads and housing estate roads in the County are included in the Council's road sweeping programme including those in the Tallaght area.  Main roads include all dual carriageways in the County however motorways are not included as they are maintained by contractors engaged by TII.  The frequency of sweeping is in general monthly for main roads and quarterly for housing estate roads.  A number of areas have been deemed as requiring a more frequent service and in these cases the frequencies are increased to fortnightly for main roads and twice per quarter for housing estate roads.  Industrial estates which are in charge of the council are swept twice per year.  It should be noted that the services provided in association with the road sweeping service include litter picking, gulley cleaning, weed control and leaf removal as well as road sweeping.
