DISGRACEFUL! Rubbish dumped on new football pitch in Arva
Anger has been expressed by Arva residents after rubbish was dumped on a new football pitch.
Rubbish was reportedly dumped across the new pitch on the Aughnacliffe Road, which has been described as "very disappointing".
A community representative told the Longford Leader: "There is really no excuse in this day and age to throw litter along the roadside. To those that have adopted a stretch of road/area for litter picking would you head out before the Christmas so the litter won't build up.
"There are two beautiful new bins in town, one at St Patrick’s Hall Arva and one on the Market Square, both have cigarette compartments. Please try to use them.
"Dog Poo bins are getting great use, we thank you all.
"This is just a reminder that the bins are in place and to continue to use them."
