MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, October 22, 2024

MOTION NO.5

MOTION: Councillor S. Moynihan

To ask the Chief Executive to provide an update on the progress of the 2023-25 Tree Maintenance Programme in the Lucan, Palmerstown and North Clondalkin areas, identifying those estates where work has been complete (with number of trees pruned in each instance), where it is in progress and where it is planned (with planned date).

REPORT:

The table below sets out the list of estates, roads and other locations in the Lucan, Palmerstown and North Clondalkin area which have been included on the current three year tree programme 2023 to 2025 for planned maintenance.  There are a total of 55 locations included on the programme with 14 of those completed to date. Maintenance works are currently underway in 2 locations and a further 22 locations have been assigned as per the status shown below.  This means that the necessary tree surveys have been completed at the locations and either a Council tree crew or tree maintenance contractor has been provided with details of the work required and has been requested to plan and proceed with the work in the current year. Unfortunately, it is not possible to provide a planned date for each location due to the variance in number of trees that require works in estates and the differing pruning requirements that are involved.  The remaining 17 locations will be addressed during the current three year period and will be completed before the end of 2025.
