MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO. 4

MOTION: Councillor N. Whelan

"This committee requests a review of the Treepark Road is carried out with a view to add extra litter bins?"

REPORT:

The Council's approach to litter bin provision follows the Litter Bin Installation Protocol which is set out in the Litter Management Plan, to ensure bins are strategically placed for maximum effectiveness. This protocol prioritises locations such as town and village centres, key pedestrian routes and larger park while discouraging placement in areas prone to illegal dumping and vandalism. Requests for new or replacement bins are assessed based on these criteria including proximity to existing bins (in general a bin is considered not necessary where there is an existing bin within 400m), maintenance requirements and overall service optimisation. The Council will carry out a review of Treepark Road with a view to installing litter bins along footpaths in high-footfall areas, such as near the football pitches and the new exercise loop at the lower end of Treepark Road.
