MEETING OF DÚN LAOGHAIRE-RATHDOWN COUNTY COUNCIL
10 MARCH 2008
CLEANING OF MAJOR ROAD JUNCTIONS
Motion: Councillor M. Baker
“That this Council request that a maintenance schedule be set up to deal with the
cleaning of all major road junctions in the County of gravel and other debris, in particular
around the turning zones and centre islands, as cyclists and motorcyclists are being put
in danger.”
Reply:
Cleaning at all major junctions is carried out regularly along with the general sweeping
carried out by the Roadsweeping Section. This work also includes cleaning in turning
zones and centre islands. Unfortunately, some areas occasionally do not receive proper
attention because of access problems or resources may be deployed elsewhere to deal
with unplanned events like illegal dumping or specific requests for cleaning. If some area
is not being properly cleaned, then if details are provided to the Roadsweeping Section,
the Foreman will arrange for this work to be carried out at the earliest opportunity.
