MOTION NO. 6
MOTION: Councillor T. Gilligan
That this Area Committee takes action to address the continuous litter problem outside four star pizza, clondalkin village.
REPORT:
All reported and detected incidents of littering and illegal dumping at this location are investigated by the Council's Litter Warden Service and all dumped material is searched for evidence. Where evidence is found, the appropriate enforcement action is taken under the Litter Pollution Act 1997, as amended. Increasingly, it is found that no personal information relating to polluters is contained within the dumped material, with personal information having been removed or shredded.
A fine was issued to the above mentioned business on 31st January 2023 for the alleged offence on the 2nd January 2023. The Litter Warden continues to monitor this location in line with routine patrols. The Litter Warden is also monitoring and liaising, when necessary, with our Waste Enforcement team on the presentation of waste for this business as with all other businesses.
As always, the Council is grateful for assistance and support from local residents or others in their investigations of such incidents as they arise. In the absence of substantive evidence / witness statements and the presence of such witnesses in court, it is not possible for us to bring successful prosecutions. If you are aware of any recent incident in this particular location, can you please email me, identifying the exact location and date.
