MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

QUESTION NO.11

QUESTION: Councillor C. Brady

To ask the CEO if the pruning of low overhanging tree branches in the Adamstown area, particularly along Castlegate Way and the route down to Lidl, can be expedited given the health and safety risk posed to pedestrians by branches obstructing the footpaths.

REPLY:

The trees on the roads which have been taken in charge in the Adamstown area will be inspected and arrangements made to have the low hanging branches pruned.  These roads include Adamstown Avenue (up to the Adamstown Way Junction), Castle Gate Way and the residential roads in the Castlegate estate.  Priority will be given to pruning the trees on the route down to Lidl along Castlegate Way.

A request to prune low hanging branches on trees which have not been taken in charge will be brought to the attention of landowner/developer.
