Agenda

Can the Manager seek a resolution with regards to ongoing issues with the dog waste binning facing Tolka Valley Estate.  I had raised this matter previously, but the resident is adamant that the problem is continuing and is hopeful that the bin could be moved further into the green area and away from the houses.

That this committee looks at the feasibility of having an economic officer for the Finglas area.

That the Manager does not allow any felling of trees on St. Canice's Rd until an additional assessment of the condition of the trees is undertaken by a second arborist, and that a report on this assessment has been considered by the Council, due to the inaccuracies in the first report, and in addition before further discussions with residents and consideration of their suggestions regarding alternative approaches to repairing the defective pavements, as stated in the Dublin City Tree Strategy 2016-2020 section 3.5.5.  

That this committee request a meeting between Mr. Coilín O’Reilly, Director of Services, and a  delegation of residents to address their concerns around the removal of trees on St. Canice’s Road, including alleged inaccuracies in the arborist’s report.

To ask the manager to look at a plan of works for Sandyhill Gardens which has been neglected for years? There is landscape works badly needed as well as the replacement of slabs and greater attention is needed to litter black spots in the area

That this Area Committee agrees to provide a dedicated person from waste management to deal with dog litter bins.
