MOTION NO.3

MOTION: Councillor J. Sinnott

This Committee notes and acknowledges the considerable amount of improvement works that take place across the Rathfarnham / Templeogue / Firhouse / Bohernabreena area by South Dublin County Council. To help communicate that works are taking place and to reduce the number of reps this Committee requests the Council provide (where possible) to members a schedule of future environmental works (tress and hedges) that are taking place in residential areas and reasons for said works across the Rathfarnham / Templeogue / Firhouse / Bohernabreena area

REPORT:

The Public Realm maintenance schedule is available to all residents on the Council website at the following link - Public Realm Operations Map | South Dublin County Council.  The schedule currently contains planned dates for cleansing and grass cutting as well as collection of waste which has been collected by tidy towns and environmental groups.  The road sweeping schedule as implemented by Oxigen Environmental Ltd on the Council's behalf is also available at this location.  The proposal to make both hedge and tree maintenance information available will be examined and these will be added to the online maintenance schedule if possible.  The hedge maintenance programme will conclude at the end of February in accordance with the wildlife act exclusion between March 1st and August 31st.  If the hedge maintenance schedule can be made available on line then this will be done for the next programme which will commence after September 1st.
