Newbridge named as Ireland’s ‘worst place for litter’

THE town of Newbridge in Co Kildare was last night named and shamed as Ireland’s worst place for litter.

Campaign group Irish Business Against Litter (IBAL), which carried out a poll of the cleanliness of 50 towns and cities across the country, adjudged Navan in Co Meath to be the second-worst litter blackspot.

IBAL also assessed litter on approach roads to towns and cities, saying a large number of places were let down by the amount of rubbish on key approach roads.
