MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO. 5

MOTION: Councillor N. Whelan

"In light of the most recent IBAL litter survey and the comments on the level of litter on the vacant site on Belgard Road/Square in particular, this area committee calls on the council to hold the site owners to account and ensure the area is cleaned and maintained to an acceptable standard?"

REPORT:

The council acknowledges the findings of the recent IBAL litter survey and shares the concerns regarding the litter, in particular the vacant site on Belgard Road/Square.

SDCC have already engaged with the site owners previously, reminding them of their responsibility to maintain the property to an acceptable standard. SDCC tried to make contact with the owners as recent as last week but as they are in receivership, we attempted to make contact with the estate agents who currently have this site for sale.

Further attempts will be made to engage with the estate agents. SDCC will continue to explore all available avenues to ensure compliance, including enforcement measures if necessary.

SDCC's aim is to ensure that Belgard Road/Square, like all areas within our jurisdiction, reflects the standards our community deserves. We appreciate the area committee's ongoing commitment to improving our local area and welcome continued collaboration on this matter.
