January 2010 Update
PARKING IN FRONT OF LIDL
We are in touch with Dublin City Council traffic department about parking in front of Lidl on Cork Street. This is becoming increasingly dangerous for cars emerging from Cameron Street onto Cork Street. They have committed to monitor the area for parking violations and issuing fines where appropriate. They are also going to consider putting a double yellow line outside to prevent any parking there. A decision will be made soon at DCC's roads department meeting.
LIDL
Posters and special offer advertisments have been taken down from the windows of the Store as per a complaint to Dublin City Council, Planning Dept. This was a clear breach of a condition of planning permission. There has been a marked imporvement in delivery associated noise, engines being left on, banging pallets etc.
ILLEGAL DUMPING
Illegal dumping continues. DCC have committed to sending litter wardens around in early February to try to get people onto the bin tag waiver scheme. Unfortunately this is going to be tricky in 2010, as the waiver no longer covers the entire cost of bin tags - they will now cost €3.00 each. Wardens will visit the area on Monday February 1st, and follow up again on Thursday February 4th.
As always, please contact Ger Toner of DCC about any illegal dumping - geraldine.toner@dublincity.ie or 086 3828331. Untagged bags are collected on Mondays, and bulky waste is collected by DCC when it is reported.
WASTE INFORMATION
Please see attached an A4 sheet with local waste information. If you are aware of people moving into the area, please print it out and pass this on to them. Let us know if there are any errors or omissions and we will update the information.
FORGED BIN TAGS
it has come to the attention of DCC that there are some bag labels being forged and sold door to door in bag areas. They have also been sold to some shops. They are being sold at a reduced price - but will not be accepted by DCC.
POWER WASHING OF PAVEMENTS
This was promised by DCC and we are following up - as it does not appear to have been carried out
ST TERESA'S GARDENS
There is still no clear information about what is planned for St Teresa's Gardens, but it appears that the complex is going to be de-tenanted and demolished, and that redevelopment will not occur for some time. We are trying to find out the timeframe for this.
VISTA COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PROJECT
The Vista Community Development Project which operated out of the Donore Avenue Community Centre has lost its funding from the Department of the Environment, but is appealing this decision.The people who benefit most from Vista are the elderly with over 150 older people living in the area engaging with the project on a weekly basis through social and educational activities. Support to the residents around the regeneration of Teresa's Gardens will also be lost. The other area they have been focused on is Suicide prevention which is seriously high in this area.
NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH
There is a new Neighbourhood Watch Garda liaison, and we are trying to meet with him for an update.
As ever, if you would like to meet with the community Garda about anything, please visit Donore Avenue Community Centre on Wednesdays between 2.30pm and 3.30pm
KIDS ON ROOFS
If you are affected by kids on your roof - especially on the side of Eugene Street which backs on to St Teresa's Gardens - please let us know, as we are trying to set up a meeting with Stephen Shields of St Teresa's Gardens to see if there is any way to stop the kids getting up there in the first place. But if the problem has lessened, please let us know too!
COMMUNITY GROUP
If you want to get more involved in the community group - to suggest anything - or have any problems which we could help with - please get in touch.
We will be making a printed newsletter in early February and would be glad of suggestions for contents - and even help with distribution!
We will have our next public meeting in early March.
Kind Regards,
Community Group.
