MOTION NO. 10

MOTION: Councillor L.Guéret

That the Manager agrees that the Laneways in Greenhills & Perrystown could be added to a regular cleaning rota, and if the Microsweeper could be used regularly on the lanes to keep them clean.

REPORT:

The Council's Road Sweeping Programme which is provided under contract by Oxigen Environmental Ltd focuses on the high priority areas of town and village centres, main roads and housing estates with sweeping provided at a frequency of monthly for urban centres and main roads and quarterly for housing estates.  In addition to this segregated cycle tracks are now being swept monthly using a 'microsweeper'.  It is not possible to add the Greenhills and Perrystown laneways to either the monthly or quarterly sweeping schedule.  The Council has committed to providing a laneway cleaning service in the Dublin 12 area and some of the laneways, approximately six locations, have already been swept and cleaned.  It is proposed to present a cleaning programme for these laneways to the April meeting of the area committee and this will give details of laneways, to be included and when they are scheduled to be cleaned.  This work will include removal of dumped items, sweeping where possible, removal of weeds and treatment for further weed growth.
