MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

QUESTION NO.5

QUESTION: Councillor N. Fennell

To ask the Manager to provide a report on whether there has been any consideration regarding the installation of bins in the Quarryvale shops due to additional food business opening in the area.

REPLY:

Following an inspection of the shops at Quarryvale it was noted that there is a public bin located beside the Quarryvale family Resource Centre.  There are no current proposals to install an additional bin.  There are 5 other businesses present which include a Fitness Centre, a Hairdresser, a Café, a Newsagent/Grocers and a Pizza shop.

Owner or person responsible for a place to which the public has access is required to keep the area adjoining their premises litter free, regardless of how the litter got there. This places an obligation on business people to keep footpaths, pavements and gutters within a 100m radius of their premises litter free. Arrangements will be made for the area to be patrolled more frequently by the Litter Warden Service and action taken where appropriate.
