BREAKING: Two Kildare towns take top places in national anti-litter competition
Naas has repeated its success of last year to top the anti litter league in a survey of towns across Ireland with Maynooth claiming joint second place.
In recent years Naas attained a level of cleanliness and presentation that should inspire local authorities across the country to better things, according to IBAL.
“The town continues to thrive in the league with virtually all the sites surveyed getting the top litter grade and no seriously littered ones,” the IBAL assessment stated.
Meanwhile Maynooth continues to score very highly in the IBAL league with nine out of the ten sites surveyed getting the top litter grade and no seriously littered sites.
"All of the approach roads got the top litter grade, creating a positive first impression of the town. Other sites of note included University Campus, Maynooth Seminary, Carton Demesne and Main Street / Leinster Street – these were not just good with regard to litter but were very well presented and maintained."
Maynooth shared joint second place with Kilkenny.
