SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

Monday, May 24, 2021

MOTION NO.1

MOTION: Councillor L. Dunne

"This Area Commmittee calls on the Chief Executive to put anti climb paint on the back garden walls of Bawnlea Avenue that lead onto Dromcarra Green due to the increase of anti-social behavior in the area whereby youths are climbing into the residents back gardens and are involved in intimidating behaviour".

REPORT:

The Council have received recent reports of groups of youths congregating on the open space at rear of Bawnlea Avenue, however, as none of the persons have been specifically identified as Council tenants/occupiers there is no action available to the Council under the Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2014. 

With respect of using anti-climb paint the Council could potentially be exposed to public liability issues and therefore would not be in a position to supply anti-climb paint.

The Estate Management Officer for the area will liase with our Public Realm Section and local residents to explore possible solutions ie. landcaping works to negate anti-social behaviour at this location.
