MOTION NO. 4

MOTION: Councillor Alan Edge

That a timetable is provided for the installation of much needed bins in Dodder Valley Park as the situation at present is unacceptable.

REPORT:

Litter bins are currently in place at the following locations servicing Dodder Valley Park -

• At the pedestrian entrance to the park from Old Bawn Road, 
• In the car park adjacent to the Old Bawn sports pavilion,
• At two locations beside the sports pavilion itself,
• At the Seskin View Road entrance to the park,
• At the pedestrian entrance to the park beside the Firhouse Road car park,
• At the bus stop beside the Firhouse Road car park,
• At the Cherryfield car park entrance to the park.

There are eight litter bins at the locations listed above.  It is proposed to provide additional litter bins at approximately six selected locations within the park between Old Bawn and Cherryfield.  The locations to be chosen will focus on areas where seating has been provided including the plaza type areas at the Firhouse weir and at the junction of Firhouse Road and the Spawell link road.  These additional litter bins will be installed in the coming weeks.
