MEETING OF CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE
Wednesday, December 09, 2015
QUESTION NO. 11
QUESTION: Councillor F. Timmons
“To ask the Chief Executive for a report into how many doors and letter boxes have been replaced in Balgaddy and how many are left to be replace? The report should also include the number of door buzzers that need replacing?”
REPLY:
The Clerk of Works has reported that all 24 communal doors to be replaced in the Balgaddy area are all now installed.
Notwithstanding an ongoing problem with vandalism, there are currently no letter boxes or buzzers requiring replacement or repair on the Housing Maintenance records.
However, the Clerk of Works reports that there are some vandalised letterboxes in the area that have not been reported. He suggests that the solution to this problem would be to have letterboxes installed inside the communal areas and keys supplied to An Post. This would be a costly solution.
The Council’s Mechanical Engineer has reported that the majority of buzzers appear to be in working condition and there are no complaints on the Maintenance Records currently
