MOTION NO. 2

MOTION: Councillor D. McManus

To ask the Chief Executive to arrange cleaning of the three laneways on Ballyroan Road that connect to Orchardstown Drive, Old Orchard and Anne Devlin Park in Rathfarnham as weeds, litter and moss covers part of the laneways.

REPORT:

The three pedestrian walkways referred to here which connect Ballyroan Road with Anne Devlin Park, Orchardstown Drive and Old Orchard have been inspected recently and were found to be clean and free from litter.  There is a build of of dead vegetation and leaves from last year at each location which needs to be removed.  There is also the beginning of some new weed growth at each location.  Arrangements will be made to have the dead vegetation and leaves removed from these walkways.  It is proposed that the treatment of the new weed growth will be carried out at a later date as to do so now at this time of year would not be effective in controlling the weed growth.
