1. That the Director of Environmental Services be requested to provide a detailed report outlining the current street sweeping arrangements for the four main towns across the Borough — Ballymoney, Coleraine, Limavady and Ballycastle and details on rural areas/villages.

The report should include:

- The current street sweeping schedule for each of the above towns.

- The number of mechanical sweepers in operation in each area.

- The number of staff assigned to street sweeping duties in each area.

- Details of the routes that are taken within each town.

- How these routes and operations are recorded and monitored.

- The frequency with which each route is swept, including the number of times per year each route is scheduled         for cleaning.

The purpose of this request is to provide clarity on the allocation of resources and operational coverage of       street sweeping services across the Borough’s main towns.

Councillor Elder

2. Dog Control in Council Cemeteries

I would like to ask whether Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council has reviewed or updated the Dog Control Order carried forward from the former Coleraine Borough Council in 2015, which requires dogs to be kept on leads within council-owned cemeteries and burial grounds.

There continue to be reports of dogs being off-lead within cemetery grounds, which can cause distress to families visiting graves and detract from the respectful nature of these spaces.

I would ask that the Head of Environmental Services bring a short report to committee outlining the current position of the order and whether there is a need to reinforce the existing rules through improved signage, awareness or enforcement.

Councillor MA McKillop

3. Can i get a update on when the control off Dog signs and Clean up after your dog signs will be replaced across the Glens DEA area.
