    Minutes:

    1.    Motion in the name of Councillor Alison Gilliland and seconded by Councillor Deirdre Heney:

     

    That Dublin City Council recognises that a clean, well maintained and litter free public realm across our city not only supports pride in and respect for our City but also supports outdoor enjoyment of our city. This is particularly relevant for the core city centre area where the City also welcomes a significant number of workers and visitors.

     

    However, Dublin City Council agrees that the current presentation and collection of commercial waste in the core city centre area is not supportive of a clean, well maintained and litter free public realm - too often bags of food rubbish ends up torn apart by seagulls and strewn across our footpaths while recycling materials in particular take up significant space on our footpaths and add to the sense of clutter. Therefore;

    a) to better manage the presentation and collection of commercial waste in the core city centre area, Dublin City Council agrees that a new system be put in place that drastically reduces the time commercial waste is allowed on our footpaths awaiting collection and that requires businesses to regularly sweep the public space directly in front of their premises so as to keep it free of litter and;

    b) to enhance the cleanliness of the core city centre area, Dublin City Council

    agrees that a the power washing rota be greatly enhanced to allow for more

    frequent and responsive power washing with particular attention being paid to

    areas with high daily and high night economy footfall.”

     

    The motion was put and carried.
