MOTION NO. 11

MOTION: Councillor F. Timmons

That this Area Committee  issues a detailed report for discussion into the future use of housing (Address Supplied) and what action SDCC housing section will undertake to prevent anti-social in the vacant properties and gardens to prevent access and a timeframe for this?

REPORT:

The Housing Department, in conjunction with Architectural Services is currently undertaking a review and feasibility assessment of this site. 

This is being undertaken with a view to developing an innovative proposal that will optimise the use of the site in line with our housing objectives. The outcome of this assessment will inform a detailed report, which will be presented to the Area Committee once the initial feasibility is complete and suitable design options have been prepared. 

In the interim, we will conduct inspections of vacant units, and, where illegal dumping is identified, we will arrange for the removal of waste.  

The Housing Officers carried out an inspection of the area recently and report that it is mainly littered with abandoned vehicles and have referred this on to the Waste Enforcement section for further investigation. To date, no reports of anti-social behaviour have been received. We will continue to monitor the area closely.  Residents can email reports to estmgt@sdublincoco.ie
