Longford County Council has launched a special ' Green Keep It Clean' initiative to try and encourage people to keep their areas litter free. The local authority is hoping to encourage individuals and families to get involved by cleaning up the roadsides within the five kilometres surrounding their homes.
Litter pickers, gloves and bags will be supplied, and the litter gathered will be collected by the litter wardens in that area.
Local Tidy Towns groups are to co-ordinate the programme and Longford County Council is also asking the public to report any overgrown or dangerous hedges to the local authority so that they can be managed under road safety.
