COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL
MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE
Tuesday, October 26, 2021
QUESTION NO. 10
QUESTION: Councillor Joanna Tuffy
To ask the Chief Executive Officer if a road sweeper could be sent to the area around Quarryvale shops more frequently to sweep rubbish from the side of the road and if the issue of litter along the side of the road could be targeted at this location?
REPLY:
The owner or person responsible for a place to which the public has access is required to keep the area adjoining their premises litter free, regardless of how the litter got there. This places an obligation on business people to keep footpaths, pavements and gutters within a 100m radius of their premises litter free. Arrangements will be made for the area to be patrolled more frequently by the Litter Warden Service and action taken where appropriate.
