KCA downs tools on litter

Members of Kilcullen Community Action have decided not to undertake any litter collection in the town this year unless there is 'some corresponding effort' by Kildare County Council.

KCA incorporates Kilcullen's Tidy Town Committee, and over many years has been active in the spring and summer months in litter collection, as well as encouraging other local people to be involved.

However, now thoroughly frustrated at the Council's failure to 'carry out their duties' in relation to Kilcullen's litter problems, the voluntary work will no longer be undertaken.

In addition, KCA has called on Kilcullen voters to let candidates in the forthcoming elections know that they are not happy with the 'total lack of service' in the litter collection area.
