COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF CLONDALKIN, NEWCASTLE, RATHCOOLE, SAGGART AND BRITTAS AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO. 4

MOTION: Councillor W. Carey

That this Area committee agrees that the Council should introduce further signage and litter bins along the footpath leading from Monastery Road along Monastery Gate Villas through Knockmitten Park. There is a dearth of bins along here and unfortunately people are disposing of dog fouling bags along the line of bushes instead.

REPORT:

While there are bins located in Knockmitten Park in the vicinity of the estates of Monksfield, Woodford and Yellow Meadows, it is acknowledged that there is an absence of bins on the section leading from Monastery Road to Monastery Gate Villas.  Additional bins will be provided at this location to address this matter.  The bins will be provided at suitable locations having regard to the Litter Bin Installation protocol as set out in the Litter Management Plan.  The requirement for signage may no longer be necessary once the bins are in place, however this can be examined after bin installation occurs.
