MOTION NO.14

MOTION: Councillor T. Gilligan

That this Area Committee requests a clean up james connolly park, cutting the grass, the bushes etc to enhance the estate

REPORT:

The open spaces in James Connolly Park are included in the regular grass maintenance programme for the area.  The open spaces were inspected recently and were found to be cut and tidy.  It was noted at the time of inspection that a street tree had been pruned by a 3^rd party and the pruninigs were inserted into the hedge of the open space adjacent to Ninth Lock Road.  Arrangements will be made to have this dumped material removed.

Hedge and shrub pruning in the estate is carried out in the winter period where required in compliance with the Wildlife Act 1976 as amended by the Wildlife (Amendment) Act 2000.
