Submissions call on Draft Litter Management Plan

A public consultation is under way on the Kildare Draft Litter Management Plan, writes Brian Byrne. Submissions can be made by individuals and groups at this link. 

The survey is open until 5pm on Monday next, 9 June. 

Under the Litter Pollution Act, 1997 all local authorities are required to take practicable measures for the prevention of the creation of litter in their functional area. These include collection and disposal of litter, promotion of awareness of the polluting effects of litter and encouraging participation by persons in preventing and overcoming the effects of litter. 

The proposed new plan will be in place from 2025-2027.
