Almost 70% of towns are litter free, survey finds

ALMOST 70% of Ireland’s towns and three of its six cities are litter free, Irish Business Against Litter (IBAL) has reported.

Only Dublin’s north inner city and Knocknaheeny in Cork were judged to be litter blackspots. Both showed a deterioration in cleanliness since a previous survey conducted last year.

IBAL chairman Dr Tom Cavanagh said towns were not letting their cleanliness levels slip, despite a squeeze on resources and public spending.
