MOTION NO. 11

MOTION: Councillor Alan Edge

In light of the increasing litter problem in our parks, that this Area Committee requests that the installation of bins in Dodder Valley Park be expedited and a timeframe given.

REPORT:

A commitment was given to install 7 litter bins in Dodder Valley Park, 5 of these have now been installed with the 2 outstanding due to be installed in the coming 2 weeks.  In addition to the promised litter bins the Public Realm Section is providing 1,100 litre capacity wheeled containers in car parks of most of the main parks, to provide additional capacity for litter and waste during the current period of heavy usage of parks.  A total of 9 of these containers are being provided and one of these is in the Dodder Valley car park at Old Bawn.  These containers provide the equivalent capacity to approximately 15 litter bins and will be serviced as required by the Council's waste contractor.
