Motions

7a

Motion in the name of Councillor Alison Gilliland

            The North Central Area Committee notes with concern the significant restriction in the blue bag scheme that allows local residents gather local green waste from public areas in particular leaf fall in autumn. This service allows local residents to contribute to both the safety of local footpaths and to the cleanliness of the public realm and therefore support our local public realm and parks teams. 

 

Acknowledging that the  blue bag scheme will remain open to local residents groups 'known' to the local area office, this committee seeks that the North Central Community Section to establish a Blue Bag Register whereby local groups can make themselves know to the Community Section and register their details with them so as to avail of the scheme. That included in this new initiative would be an advisory role whereby local residents can be communicated with and advised as to how they might from a group so as to avail of the scheme.

Order: Agreed

7b

Motion in the name of Councillor Alison Gilliland

Noting the generic responsibility that Dublin City Council and by default each local area office has with regard to environmental issues, the North Central Area Committee notes the lack of grass cutting on the lands at St. Paul's school now in ownership of Crekav Landbank Developments Ltd. and the negative impact the high growing grass will have on the ability of the soon returning Brent geese to feed. Therefore, the North Central Area Committee calls on the Area Manager and the CEO to write to Crekav Landbank Developments Ltd. demanding that the grass be cut so as to protect and prepare the environment required by the Brent Geese, and that these communications be copied to the Minister Josepha Madigan at the Department of Arts Culture and the Gaeltacht, who has responsibility for parks and wildlife.

7c

Motion in the name of Councillor Alison Gilliland

The North Central Area Committee recognises that acutely high levels of families and single people waiting on social housing lists within its main catchment area, AREA B. The North Central Area Committee notes the proposal to sell off some of our waste management, housing management and other depots (Report 161/2018 to July DCC meeting) to fund the depot consolidation project. These targeted depots include the waste management depot on the Kilmore Rd at Cromcastle Court.  While the North Central Area Committee recognises the benefits of consolidating services into a more efficient plant it rejects the selling off of the Cromcastle Court depot particularly given it's location next to (if not in the grounds of) the Cromcastle Court complex. The recent partial collapse of the stairwell in Block 8 of this Complex has risen its status to that of regeneration. The North Central Area Committee therefore calls on DCC CEO to remove the Cromcastle Court depot from the list of depots for disposal and instead include it in the Cromcastle Court Regeneration Project as additional land for this project.

7d

Motion in the name of Councillor Deirdre Heney

That the Manager, in relation to the proposal to construct a neighbourhood centre on the green space at Greendale, Kilbarrack, outline the reasons why the previously designed and agreed upgrade and extension of the already existing community centre on Greendale Road is no longer being pursued, say if he has totally ruled out the extension works to the existing facility, say if he is aware of the concerns of local residents facing the green and in particular, say if he is aware that building the proposed neighbourhood centre could be in breach of the Habitats Directive in relation to wildlife and in particular the displacement of Brent Geese that graze on this space.

Order: Report to Councillor

7e

Motion in the name of Councillor Michael O'Brien

That this area committee notes the proposal from the National Transport Authority to radically alter the bus routes serving the North Central Area. We note with particular concern the proposed loss of direct routes to the city centre affecting residents in Ard Na Greine, Edenmore, Harmonstown, Darndale, Bonnybrook, Kilmore and Artane. We support the initiative of residents and public representatives to form campaigns to direct pressure on the National Transport Authority to preserve city centre routes for all of these communities.
