January 2022 Tallaght Area Committee Meeting

Submitted by:

Councillor K. Mahon

Responsibility:

John Hegarty

This Area Committee calls on management to investigate the traffic sequencing at the Old Bawn Rd/ N81 junction and add a safe pedestrian crossing. This would link Watergate Park to the Avonbeg active travel scheme and local schools, shops and community facilities, and also to the Dodder Greenway via Whitestown Stream. The traffic light sequencing already includes a time to cross safely but there are no lights indicating this or guiding people to cross this busy junction safely. Cllr Kieran Mahon.

This Area Committee supports the inclusion of St Dominic's National School (Mountain Park/ Dominics Road) in any upcoming School Street Programme. This can be viewed as building on traffic control measures in the area and an addition to the Avonbeg active travel scheme/ shared cycle & pedestrian track.

The Tallaght Area Committee supports the right of the majority to a clean environment. The Area Committee believes that the provision of Bin Collection Services, as a key aspect of the wider question of waste management and environmental protection, is best provided as a not-for-profit public service. We believe it to be clearly evidenced that the privatisation of bin collection and waste management services has been an abject failure. This is evidenced by • The extent of dumping in public areas and waterways and associated expenditure by the local authority. • the complete failure of the criminalisation approach of those involved in illegal dumping be it by commercial entities or private individuals to substantially alter the problem. This Area Committee supports the "Polluter Pays" principle and clearly identifies the many corporations and large businesses that produce and profit from the waste absorbed by wider society and the environment as the primary polluter. We request an initial report on the expenditure element that would be involved by the council in providing 1) weekly, and 2) fortnightly, house to house residential bin collections across the electoral wards of Tallaght Central and South Tallaght. We request that this initial report provide information on what options are potentially open to the Council regarding direct or indirect provision of these services and employment. We note that: a) The existing privatisation of bin services has created a market and that reversing this commodification presents challenges to Councillors in developing a workable approach b) South Dublin County Council has through the District Heating System essentially entered the energy provision market.
