Motion 1 from Councillor Dermot Lacey

This committee requests the manager to remove the bin on Grantham Street specified in the email submitted with this motion to be removed once and for all.

Order: Report to councillor.

Motion 2 from Councillor Mary Freehill

Residents of Adrian Avenue are getting very smelly and foul tasting water following laying of pipes there some weeks ago.  On checking it is asserted that the pipes for 17, 18, 19 and 20 Adrian Avenue are on private land, their pipes were not replaced but they are the only residents who have the problem with quality of water.  Irish water installed meters on all of the above, so it looks as if Dublin City Council needs to immediately regularise the ownership of these pipes.  Clearly it has been informally accepted that these services were in the public system until now.  The residents are in a very difficult situation and left hanging between Drainage and Roads Departments.

Therefore this meeting agrees that the pipes for these houses are replaced and that the area be urgently taken in charge and that the quality of their water be brought up to standard. The attached photographs show that these houses area an integral part of Adrian Avenue.

Order: Report to councillor.

Motion 3 from Councillor Mary Freehill

Because of the high pedestrian and cycling traffic on Grove Road and Parnell Road that is poorly served by public lighting, in the interest of safety that these two roads are prioritised for white lighting.

Order: Agreed.

Motion 4 from Councillor Dermot Lacey

That this committee discusses the proposals to reduce residential parking on Creighton Street, Dublin 2 in advance of any action being taken by officials in relation to this matter and that the concerns and interests of the local community be paramount in any decisions relating to this and that the manager would report to this committee on any requests and actions that have been taken in relation to this issue in recent months.

Order: Agreed.

Motion 5 from Councillor Mary Freehill

Clareville Road, Shanid Road and Adrian Avenue have recently formed a residents’ group. Recently on a walk about with them the following issues were raised.

1. Graffiti needs to be cleared from corner of Clareville Road and Kenilworth Park. The graffiti is mainly on utility services boxes.Also the name plates at either end of Clareville Road are badly disfigured and would benefit from repainting.

2. The state of Clareville Road and Adrian Avenue roads are very unsafe.  The area that is tarred is uneven and the concrete part because it has subsided in parts has very dangerous lips measuring a few inches.  This is extremely dangerous for cyclists and pedestrians crossing.  There is a slight bend on Clareville Road beside Shanid Road which causes vehicles to move to other side of the road at that point, this need to be examined by Traffic Engineers.  Traffic moves very fast outside rush hours, to slow it down a “children sign” might  ...  view the full minutes text for item 7.
