MOTION NO.7

MOTION: Councillor Joanna Tuffy

To ask the CEO if there is currently in place a hand cart person for Lucan Village and can particular attention be paid to the area of Main Street from Sarsfield Terrace up to the roundabout at the junction of the Span Bridge in terms of cleaning the path along this stretch as well as adjacent road where the car spaces are.

REPORT:

A Public Realm member of staff is appointed to cleansing duties in Lucan Village.  The Main Street from Sarsfield Terrace up to the roundabout at the junction of Lucan Bridge is included in the area which is maintained.  The cleansing of parking spaces along this stretch of road can be difficult at times due to cars occupying the parking spaces. 

Several inspections were carried out in the village in November.  It was noted that there was a higher than normal amount of litter present during inspections.  On foot of this, staff rostering has been adjusted to ensure that there is appropriate staff cover for litter picking in the Village with particular attention to be paid to the area identified in the Motion.
