MOTION NO. 9

MOTION: Councillor G. O'Connell

To ask the Chief Executive for a comprehensive report on the Laneway Network in Palmerstown to include (a) which lanes are totally under the control of SDCC, (b) which portion of any laneway is owned by a third party and not taken in charge by SDCC. (c) who owns the privately owned portions of the laneways (d) if a laneway has only one entrance/exit can it still be deemed to 'taken in Charge' by SDCC (e) why have the surfaces of many laneways been allowed to deteriorate to the point where they are a hazard to pedestrians and cyclists, and (f) why are the laneways not maintained to a standard where they are free of rubbish, weeds and graffiti?

REPORT:

The volume of work requested by this motion would require the services of a full time referencer to gather this information. The council does not have sufficient resources available to undertake this.

 If there is a specific laneway that is of particular interest then we can endeavour to gather this information.
