Additional litter wardens ‘a waste’

CORK County Council has refused to employ more wardens for a litter crackdown, claiming the impact on illegal dumping would be minimal.

The request was made by Councillor Noel O’Connor, who said he wanted more litter wardens employed in the north Cork region during the summer months.

Several councillors claimed that illegal dumping was getting out of hand in the area and spoiling the rural landscape.
