Following the discovery of an illegal dump on the link road between Julianstown and Duleek Sinn Féin’s local election candidate, Sinéad Burke, has urged people to make full use of the Meath Lo-Call Litter Hotline.
She said, “We seem to be fighting a losing battle in the fight against illegal dumping in Co. Meath. There is certainly an acknowledged issue of resources at council level to deal with the problem. This latest dump on the link road between Julianstown and Duleek contained large household goods including white goods, furniture and mattresses and is part of what is now a constant problem. At this stage the council are struggling to cope with even the symptoms of illegal dumping, never mind prevention or prosecution. It will take full community involvement if we are to overcome this scourge. I would encourage people to remain vigilant, particularly around littering ‘hotspots’ and to contact the Meath Lo-Call Litter Hotline on 1890 228 466 whenever they discover or witness littering.”
