MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

Monday, April 22, 2024

QUESTION NO.

QUESTION: Councillor L. Whelan

"To ask the management if there are plans to place more public bins from the area starting from Citywest shopping centre, down Fortunestown lane road, to the roundabout at the end of that road (and even further on down to Citywise centre). Currently, there is only one bin outside Lidl on Fortunestown road. However, as the area has busy shopping areas, including both a primary school and a secondary school where students leave for lunch, more public bins are necessary to keep the surrounding areas clean. The population of the area has also grown in the last couple years, and public amenities and services need to match that increase and to tackle local issues of litter?"

REPLY:

The Council's Public Realm Section proposes to install new litter bins at a number of suitable locations in the Citywest area in the near future.  The area is currently being surveyed to identify locations which have both available space on the footpath to install a litter bin and a pull-in area to enable the service vehicle to pull in and thereby not block traffic.  The survey will include the N82/Citywest Road and Fortunestown Lane/Citywest Drive.  Once suitable locations have been identified installation of the new bins will be arranged.

In 2023 the Public Realm Section installed 3 new litter bins along Fortunestown Lane/Citywest Drive at the locations listed below.
