Residents in litter ‘blackspot’ clean up their act

People living in the area branded Ireland’s only litter blackspot have united to clean up their act.

Farranree Community Association on the northside of Cork City has announced plans to stage a series of monthly clean-ups, and to hold regular meetings to monitor progress.

They also plan to approach major domestic waste collection companies in a bid to strike deals on behalf of households in the area who may be in arrears with their refuse accounts.
