Spike in littering and dumping – Cllr claims
Littering and dumping has seen a significant spike throughout the county - claims a Kerry county councillor this week.
Cllr Michael Cahill has expressed huge disappointment that during COVID-19 it is evident throughout the county and the behaviour is grossly unfair to those who work so hard keeping towns and villages clean.
“There is a very noticeable spike in littering and dumping throughout Kerry, including at many of our beaches and parks,” he said.
“This type of behaviour is grossly unfair to all our TidyTowns committees, schools and other groups who give freely of their time to keep our county clean,” said the Fianna Fáil Councillor. “It is very also unfair to the majority of people who visit these scenic areas and have the manners to clean up after themselves."
He said that he has called on Kerry County Council to make a determined effort to put an end to this totally irresponsible behaviour for once and for all.
“This disgusting carry on not only turns people off visiting our renowned beauty spots but also increases the expenditure of Kerry County Council in dealing with it.”
