MOTION NO. 2

MOTION: Councillor D. Adelaide

That this Area Committee calls on the council to propose workable solutions for storage of equipment for cherrywood tidy towns

REPORT:

SDCC have examined 4 locations that had been identified to them for the storage of the Cherrywood Tidy Towns material.   It is the experience of the Public Realm Section that containers tend to attract anti-social activities when they are located in public places.  For this reason, the Public Realm Section is not in favour of installing storage containers in residential areas.  3 of the suggested locations were all in close proximity to houses in Kilcarberry Court, Kilcarberry Avenue and Old Church Crescent and were therefore considered unsuitable as they would place an unacceptable burden on residents living nearby. The 4th location in Corkagh Park Allotments is not considered suitable as it would alienate the land within the allotments from the purpose that it has been provided for.

Should a further location be identified, Public Realm will work with Cherrywood Tidy Towns by examining the location for suitability.
