MOTION NO. 11

MOTION: Councillor L.Guéret

That the Manager agrees to the Litter Warden making periodic inspections of the laneways in Greenhills & Perrystown and if some deterrent could be placed to try and prevent illegal dumping in these laneways.

REPORT:

The anti-litter warden for the area currently carries out regular inspections of the laneways in question. From a review of recent inspections there has been on average 3 inspections per week over the last 6-month period.  In that time the warden has issued notices to householders to remove items and these have been complied with.

The warden works closely with our waste enforcement section in relation to illegal dumping and all items found are thoroughly searched with a view to gathering evidence of offenders. The Council will review the laneways and determine what appropriate deterrents can be erected.

As always, The Council is very appreciative of information received from members of the public in relation to issues of littering and illegal dumping and would encourage anyone who has information in relation to same to contact The Council on 01-4149000 or info@sdublincoco.ie
