QUESTION NO.7

QUESTION: Councillor J. Sinnott

To ask the manager to provide details of the roads and estate cleaning schedules in relation to the removal of leaves in the Rathfarnham / Templeogue / Firhouse and Bohernabreena areas.

REPLY:

In accordance with the scheduled frequencies as set down in the road sweeping contract all main roads in the Rathfarnham/Templeogue/Firhouse/Bohernabreena area are swept monthly and all housing estate roads are swept quarterly.  Details of the road and estate cleaning dates can be found at the following link to the road sweeping schedule which is held on the Council's website : Oxigen Environmental - Oxigen Environmental

A leaf removal service is provided as part of the road sweeping and associated services contract and this is provided on a request basis, with Oxigen providing both a leaf sweeping and bag removal service as required by local residents.  Leaf sweeping and removal does not operate to a fixed schedule due to the unknown nature of when leaf fall will take place.  It is also regularly necessary to make repeated visits to areas where leaf fall is heavy.  Requests for leaf sweeping can be submitted by local residents or elected representatives to the publicrealm@environment.ie email address and requests will be scheduled for attention when received.
