QUESTION NO. 2

QUESTION: Councillor B. Lawlor

To ask for Ellensborough Estate to be cleaned, for the branches left last year after trees were pruned to be collected and for the bushes to be cleared of rubbish.

REPLY:

An inspection of Ellensborough Estate was carried out recently.  There were high levels of green waste dumped in the area which would appear to be of garden origin. There was also litter present in the form of plastic bags, soft drink bottles/cans, sweet wrappings and construction debris dumped along the boundary of the open space.

Public Realm have removed the green waste, litter and construction debris. Residents have an important role to play in improving the area by refraining from using it to dispose of green waste & litter. The Council would encourage residents who experience or witness such activities to report it for the attention of the Council's litter warden service.
