QUESTION NO.2

QUESTION: Councillor C. O'Connor

"To ask the Chief Executive if he has noted the coverage in the local Echo newspaper of the fact that according to the report there are no litter bins in Citwest;will he confirm that he is taking immediate action in the matter and give assurances given the poor reaction in Citywest to the matter."

REPLY:

The Council's Public Realm Section has received a number of requests and representations for the provision of litter bins in the Citywest area.  Arrangements are currently being made for the installation and servicing of a number of litter bins in the area.

It should be noted that the unit owners/occupiers in the Citywest Shopping Centre as well as the centre management have responsibility for implementing measures to control litter which is emanating from their premises.  The same requirements apply to the operators of the Luas service and to the Lidl premises on Fortunestown Lane.  It is also the case that the main Citywest Road or N82 is cleaned and maintained by a private contractor engaged by management of the Citywest Business Complex.  The main road which cuts across the N82, Fortunestown Road leading on to Fortunestown Lane, is swept and cleaned by the Council's road sweeping contractor on a fortnightly basis.
