It is important to note that a significant number of additional complaints were also investigated as all area staff pick up complaints when carrying out daily duties but due to lack of resources all complaints are not logged.

Provision of Bins

44

In conjunction with Waste Management Services (WMS) eight locations have been selected in the Finglas South area as being suitable for the installation of litter bins on a trial basis. These will be placed primarily at bus stops in areas with a good level of footfall. These locations will be monitored for dumping and the inappropriate disposal of household waste.

As part of the drive to generate efficiencies in the provision of bins around the North West Area, Waste Management Services have been engaged in technical dialogue with companies working in the smart technology field. Working in conjunction with Larkin Engineering, it is planned to select approximately twenty litter bins around the NWA, collate data on the current servicing of those bins, and then after six weeks replace them with new bins equipped with sensors. WMS will then collect information using a smart phone app on which bins need to be serviced on any given day. The trial will commence in the upcoming months.

WMS are currently trialling ten dog fouling bins around the city. Two bins are currently installed in the NWA, at the entrance to Griffith Park on Botanic Avenue and at the entrance to Shandon Park in Phibsborough. To date there have been no reported instances with the bins. Ten additional bins from a different supplier will be put in place shortly across the city. This trial, if successful, will see the installation of bins citywide, providing facilities for the appropriate disposal of dog fouling.

Finglas Festival 2016There was fun for all the family at the recent Finglas Festival which ran from Friday 1st July to Sunday 3rd July, centred around the Drogheda and Poppintree Malls in Finglas Village. Musical entertainment was provided along with attractions for children, including bouncy castles and fairground rides. Highlights of the festival included the Agnes Fest, where participants dressed up as characters from the popular Mrs. Brown television show, and the 1916 exhibition in the Festival Office.

Temporary gating has also been provided at Dalymount Lane to aid the progress of the Dalymount Project and reduce the instance of anti social behaviour at the location. Work has also commenced on repairs to the wall and the planting of creepers at the junction of the Navan Road and Cabra Road.

Further enhancements are planned throughout the area during the remainder of 2016.

North West Area City Neighbourhoods EntriesCommunities within the NWA submitted a total of 88 entries for the annual City Neighbourhoods competition. Staff from the Public Domain team has been involved in judging the entries over the last number of weeks and can confirm that the work done within the area has been consistent with the high standards attained in previous years.

Of particular note have been the entries from new resident’s groups, including those in Ballymun, who have done excellent work in enhancing their areas in the last number of months.

The local DCC Sports Officer is currently running a 6 week multi-sports programme with Le Cheile Centre in Glasnevin (St. Michael’s House). Activities include chair aerobics, badminton and modified games.

Ballymun Men’s Group meets every Friday from 12pm – 2pm in Poppintree Community Sports Centre for table tennis and pool.

Our Cricket Development Officer will be liaising with DCC Sports Officers in the area to organise the running of cricket programs for the coming months. He will also be present at any Family/Sports days that have been arranged in the area during the July/August period.

Poppintree Cricket Club is now up and running and are playing friendly matches on a regular basis throughout July and August. All matches are played at the away grounds for the moment.

Football Development Officers will be focusing all their attention on promotion and recruitment for this year’s Project Futsal during the summer period. It is hoped to

49

have 20 – 25 students on this year’s course. The course will commence on 12th September 2016 and will run for a full academic year until June 2017.

The local Boxing Officer has arranged for young people in the area to be brought along to Ballybough Community Centre every day over the coming weeks for boxing training/taster sessions. This will also encompass a visit to Croke Park to view the Olympic Medal Exhibition.

The Street Olympics will be held in Irishtown stadium on Thursday 28th July from 11- 4pm. This is a DCC flagship event and is aimed at 10-14 year olds from across the city to come together to take part in various sporting events such as track and field, rowing, fencing etc to celebrate the upcoming Rio Olympics.

Item No: 17

Feasibility report on Webcasting of North West Area Committee Meetings

To webcast Area Committee meetings from the Council chamber in Ballymun, it would be necessary to link cameras to the microphone system so that when the microphone is activated, the camera would automatically move to and zoom in on the speaker. The systems are available in either a wired or wireless solution. The outline price for a wireless solution is €36,000 to €38,000, while a wired solution would be approx. €19,000. The suitability of the microphones for this purpose has not yet been assessed. The need to replace the microphones is being looked at currently due to ongoing issues with the quality of the sound in the Chamber.

The webcasting element of these systems is provided by Public-i. The existing contract with Public-i provides for meetings availability on the DCC public website for 12 months at which point they are archived on Public-i servers. The annual running costs, which cover 30 hours of hosted content, a staff member to monitor the system during its operation, an additional licence fee and a service level agreement for the equipment is likely to be in the region of €10,000.

An assessment of the wi-fi capacity in the chamber would have to be carried out as it is likely that a dedicated broadband connection would be required. An additional small cost would accrue to the installation and operation of this.

DEPOT CONSOLDATION PROJECT - BALLYMUN

OVERVIEW

Dublin City Council has an extensive depot network across the City to support essential city operations. The network evolved over a number of years and although some changes have been made, it was felt that a review of the existing depot network should be carried out with a view to improving the working conditions of the operational staff while also using advances in transport and technology to achieve a major rationalisation with resulting operational efficiencies and savings.

There were 37 Depots in scope overall, 31 of which are owned and 6 leased. They cater for approximately 1,400 Staff and 616 Vehicles.

In the context of Ballymun and North side operations, 18 depots are in scope. The goal of this project is to consolidate 18 depots in 1 location (see Appendix A) to create a more integrated operational environment.

The following areas were outside the scope of the project: Parks - there is a separate proposal to reorganise this structure. Fire Brigade, with the exception of the Stanley Street site which is in scope It is not proposed to relocate the Joinery Workshop (Ballyfermot) or Bow Lane &

O’Rahilly Parade (Waste Management Depots)

The proposal is to develop a consolidated depot in Ballymun incorporating Waste Management, Housing, Public Lighting, Traffic, Water, Drainage and Roads Maintenance operations. The consolidated depot will operate on a shared basis with shared stores, staff and welfare facilities, parking, workshops, fleet management and office accommodation. The consolidation of operations into a greatly reduced number of locations will facilitate the release of Council owned lands for more appropriate uses.

The project also examines the opportunity to provide community gain at the locations selected.

Benefits of Consolidation

Purpose built facility with the appropriate facilities for staff. Conditions in a number of depots are poor and require upgrading and investment.

Efficiencies associated with sharing stores, administration and resources / fleet Reduction in operational costs

92

Improved health & safety compliance Better co-ordination & access to staff in emergency situations Freeing up sites for more appropriate uses & economic development. Many of the

depot locations conflict with current land use zoning - 14 of the depots are located in Z1 residential zonings, 2 are in prime urban centres (Z4) e.g. Collins Avenue

Community benefits by locating facilities in more appropriate sites Improve service delivery models to take advantage of developments in technology

Project Approach

Researcho Examined previous depot reviewso Identified information requirementso Each Department was surveyed to ascertain the number of depots, staff,

ownership etc. Follow up meetings were arranged with all Operational Leads to discuss the project and develop the requirements.

o Visited and interviewed depot staff at a number of locationso Mapped the location of all depotso Planning report on zoning of the depots o Survey and Valuation Reports for all current depot sites

Looked at Other modelso Visited 2 consolidated models that were purpose built in Fingal County

Council & Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Councilo Examined Private sector models – In general they don’t have depots for staff

however one private sector depot was visited.

Explored OptionsA workshop was arranged in November 2014 with a wider group of stakeholders, attendees included local inspectors from each of the operational areas. The workshop was held in Ballyogan, Dun Laoghaire’s operations centre, so that Dublin City Council staff could experience firsthand a consolidated model, view the facilities and speak to some of the staff there. They then identified benefits and concerns in relation to a consolidated model and brainstormed how this model could be adapted to DCC’s operations. There was consensus that all Northside operations could be consolidated in an area around Ballymun. It was also agreed that City wide services e.g. Public Lighting and Traffic could operate from that location. There is a separate proposal for southside depots.

Identified potential sites for consideration Development Department identified a couple of sites in Ballymun which might be suitable. The site on St Margaret’s Road was chosen for the reasons outlined below.

93

St. Margaret’s Road, Ballymun

Site Selection Currently a vacant site in Ballymun which is an integral part of the Ballymun

Regeneration Masterplan. Sufficient size and capacity for consolidation of operations Excellent accessibility, adjacent to the M50 Dublin City Council own the land The Old St. Margaret’s Road is now closed, therefore increasing size of site

Approach When this site was suggested some preliminary work was carried out to determine

the feasibility of using this site from an operational point of view. Preliminary discussions took place with the area office. During discussions it was

requested that we examine the possibility of having a civic amenity site co-located with the depot.

A topographical survey was carried out by Survey and Mapping. An outline design to demonstrate that the site can accommodate the requirements of

these depots was drawn up by City Architects. An assessment, that the site is feasible in principle for the proposed use was carried

out by our Planning & Property Development Dept. In discussion with staff, concerns were raised about electromagnetic fields (EMF’s)

from the ESB substation near the site so testing was carried out which found that levels were well within the limits allowed in international standards.

Proposed Facilities

This facility will comprise of:

Office accommodation to include shared meeting rooms and training room Facilities support, including the management of CCTV security systems and the

Building Management System (BMS) & IT infrastructure. Staff facilities to include Canteen Facilities, Washing Facilities, Drying room,

Lockers, Washing machines and dryers, Staff Parking, Parking of Fleet including multi storey car park Indoor & Outdoor Storage Waste separation areas including an area for a compactor, Workshop space Fleet maintenance bays (garage), Fleet Washing Bays / Area, Salt Barn (capacity for 2,200 tonnes of salt).

There will be over 600 staff associated with this depot, however, not all staff report to depot. It is estimated that of the 600 staff, 150 will require office accommodation / are depot based during the day.

Civic Amenity Site The design of a civic amenity site also forms part of the proposal. This will be completely separate to the depot as members of the public will be gaining access on foot and by car. However, as part of the design consideration will be given to joint waste disposal arrangements.

Policy Context

94

The site lies within the administrative boundary of Fingal County Council and is subject to the provisions of the Fingal County Development Plan.

The site is zoned ‘GE’ (General Employment), the objective of which is to provide opportunities for general enterprise and employment. The land use zoning is intended to “facilitate opportunities for compatible industry and general employment uses, logistics and warehousing activity in a good quality physical environment. General Employment areas should be highly accessible, well designed, permeable and legible”.

A planning application for the Operations Depot will be made to Fingal County Council and therefore, the design proposal must have regard to the zoning and other relevant provisions of the Fingal County Development Plan. This will be done after the tendering process is complete and the contract has been awarded.

Ballymun Masterplan & Local Area Plan Issues PaperThe lands also form part of the area covered by the Ballymun Masterplan 1998 and 2007, prepared by Ballymun Regeneration Limited (BRL). It is an objective of the Fingal County Development Plan to facilitate the implementation of the Masterplan.

BRL has been wound-down and the functions of the agency have been transferred into Dublin City Council. The City Council is in the process of preparing a Local Area Plan (LAP) for the Ballymun Area and, as part of this exercise, has reviewed the progress in implementing the aims and objectives of the Ballymun Masterplan.

The recently produced Issues Paper for the Ballymun LAP supports the use of these lands for economic, employment uses and identifies the continuing need for the augmentation and provision of new roads to improve permeability and facilitate the formation of development sites. The proposed use of the lands and the construction of the St Margaret’s Link Road, which forms part of the works proposed in this project, are consistent with these identified needs.

Boundary treatment/public realm/landscapingLandscape design will be integral to the project and is needed to create an appropriate setting for the buildings in their present context and also to improve the site boundary.

Traffic and Transportation ImpactAn assessment on the road network in the area (including capacities) will be required. Any impact and necessary mitigation can be identified through the preparation of a Traffic Impact Assessment which may form part of a future planning application.

Sustainability The project will aim to be an example of best practice in terms of sustainability and aim to minimise energy consumption. The heating system should seek to maximise use of renewable energy sources in the interests of sustainability.

Funding of Project

Quantity surveyors have estimated the cost of the Ballymun depot at €25 million, this was based on the outline design by City Architects. It is anticipated that the funding will largely come from the release of capital through disposal of sites, however the funding model will need to be reviewed with Council in the context of all depots, and not just those relocating to Ballymun.

Progress:

95

A tender was issued to create a multiparty framework for an Integrated Design Team. We are nearing the end of Stage 1 of this process and working towards stage 2 where a number of applicants will be invited to tender.

Once appointed, the design team will work in conjunction with a DCC Project Manager. It is expected that there will be a large amount of consultation between internal staff and the design team.

Unions have been briefed on the plans to consolidate. Multiple meetings were held with staff in operational areas to discuss the project, get feedback and identify concerns.

Choice Based LettingsTwo properties in Ballygall Parade were offered and accepted under the Choice Based Letting scheme. The new tenants will be moving into the units in the coming days.

100

Cleansing/Waste Management Waste Management and the Area Office are continuing to combat illegal dumping at open spaces. These measures include using the C.C.T.V system to monitor and identify those responsible. The area office has targeted illegal dumping around Belclare, Termon and Knowth Court and a number of tenants have been called in and warned about their behaviour.

Public DomainComplaints re Public Domain issues can now be logged by calling to the public counter in the Ballymun Office or by phoning 222 5610. Issues which can be reported include illegal dumping, graffiti, broken footpaths and open spaces.

Johnstown ParkFollowing complaints of anti social behaviour and damage to trees in the park, Dublin City Council met with the Gardai and residents to put in place a plan for dealing with this anti social behaviour.

PyritePyrite remediation has started on Carton Road and two families have moved to allow works to begin. Works will commence in the middle of July and are expected to take three months. The families have been temporarily accommodated locally. The remaining units have been tendered and works on the rest of the Carton estate is expected to start around the middle of September.

Shangan AvenueLocal residents are working well to keep the Shangan and Whiteacre area clean after the previous clean up by Dublin City Council. Some resident are coming together to fix up all the tree pits on Shangan Avenue. Dublin City Council will supply any materials needed along with any help required. Shangan Drive residents have been busy cleaning the area by cleaning all parking bays and removing all weeds and debris from footpaths and lane ways.

CoultryMost areas in Coultry now have active residents involved in keeping the area in good shape. Dublin City Council has been supplying equipment and planting materials required. Coultry Drive and Coultry Way have been particularly active with on street planting and painting. Woodhazel and Longdale Terrace residents have been active clearing all debris and weeds from parking bays and footpaths. We hope to start a program of fixing and planting the tree pits in these areas shortly. All the tree pits in Forestwood Avenue have been cleared of weeds and are currently getting new sand installed. This will be finished in the coming weeks. The walk through at the end of Sallowood beside Aldi is getting cleared of all ivy and over grown trees, which should reduce the possibility of illegal dumping in the area. Magenta CrescentAll the planters have been delivered by Dublin City Council and the residents have been busy with planting and cleaning in the area. Works are at an advanced stage with the pedestrian crossing. According to the contractor, the poles are installed and the footpath on both side have been dished. Over the next two weeks the road will be resurfaced and the electricity will be connected. There will also be new road marking done at this area.

102

Poppintree / Courts Nearly all the Courts have active residents getting involved in cleaning, planting and painting in their own areas. Dublin City Council has been busy supplying paint and plants along with equipment and any other supports necessary. Most Courts have kissing gates installed now and the remaining Courts will have them by the end of the summer. This has greatly reduced the number of motor bikes and antisocial behaviour in these areas. The Parks Section is still monitoring the pond in Poppintree for pollution as there seems to be an ongoing problem with diesel getting into the pond. Gates will be fitted to all the open stairways in Barnwell and Poppintree Crescent by the end of the summer. Belclare residents are active with cleaning their areas in conjunction with Dublin City Council particularly around Belclare Park, Belclare Grove, and Belclare Crescent.

Report on the Ballymun Social Regeneration Fund

Social Regeneration is one of the keys to the successful regeneration of Ballymun as it has long been recognised that changes to bricks and mortar alone will not bring about real social change. To this end the DOECLG has provided significant funding to Ballymun. In the current year this funding is €1.7m, having been significantly higher in previous years. It is hoped that this level of funding will remain in place in 2017, but the Department has indicated that funding will cease post 2017.

The Social Regeneration objectives for Ballymun are set out in Sustaining Regeneration, A social plan for Ballymun, which sets out objectives under seven themes;Placemaking, Education, Lifelong learning and Training, Community Safety, Health and Wellbeing, Child Development and Family Support, Arts and Culture, and Recreation and Sport.

Each project is funded in order to meet identified needs and gaps in service provision in the Ballymun area and is linked to the Sustaining Regeneration Strategy. Most programmes operate in accordance with agreed SLA’s, with less than ten percent of funding being in respect of contributions where no SLA is in place (Dublin County Board, Sports Internal Programme, Internal Administration budget, DIT music programme, Safer Ballymun and Innovate Dublin). The following table shows the 2016 funding allocations.
