Cities starting to clean up their acts

Cities are beginning to clean up their acts and 13 major urban areas are now deemed to be less littered than the European average.

These are the findings of the latest Irish Businesses Against Litter (IBAL) survey which shows that while cities are still not litter-free they are showing a marked improvement, but more needs to be done to clean up routes between major towns.

The 13 major urban areas which have been given a great review include Tullamore, Navan, Wexford, Clonmel, Letterkenny, Killarney and Waterford.
