MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

QUESTION NO.6

QUESTION: Councillor C. O'Connor

"To ask the Chief Executive to confirm that he is maintaining close contact and offering support to the Fettercairn Estate Management Committee, will he detail actions taken and proposed in respect of issues being encountered by the group and will he make a statement."

REPLY:

The Estate Management Officers for the area maintain weekly contact with members of the Fettercairn Estate Management Committee providing support and taking actions on issues highlighted by the committee such as illegal dumping, burning of illegal waste, and securing abandoned Council properties. Plants and equipment have also been provided for small planting initiatives for further enhancement of the estate.

Due to COVID-19 restrictions it has not been possible to meet with the Fettercairn Estate Management Committee in a group setting. An online meeting was scheduled to take place on 9th March but it had to be postponed to early April, date to be confirmed.

The Council will continue to work closely with the Group and liaise with them on any issues arising.
