MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, November 28, 2023

QUESTION NO. 1

QUESTION: Councillor P. Gogarty

To ask the Manager for an update on the number of new/replacement litter bins provided in Lucan, North Clondalkin and Palmerstown since the start of 2023, including areas not in charge of the Council but working with developers such as Adamstown; and if a statement can be made on the matter.

REPLY:

There have been 4 bins installed at new locations with an additional 2 new locations identified for bins.  There have been 5 new bins provided where existing bins were absent for a prolonged period of time due to vandalism or removal during the course of footpath improvement works.  Bins are also replaced on occasions where they are found to be damaged.  The number of bins in this category for 2023 is approximately 10.

The request for 3 litter bins in the Adamstown area at the train station, Adamstown Park playground and at the bus stop at 110 Adamstown Avenue is being followed up with the relevant landowners.
