Nearly 1,000 litter fines last yearKILDARE GENERAL, 30 March 2000: by Brian Byrne. Kildares Litter Warden Service issued 955 fines in 1999, according to a report on the Litter Management Plan which was published this week. Of these, 591 were paid, 153 have not been, 127 were waived, and 84 were returned as gone away. Kildare County Council has sent all unpaid fines for 1997-1999 to solicitors for further action. The on-the-spot fine for littering has been raised to £50 since January. (Pictured above is a typical dumping situation on The Curragh.) The new street sweepers which have been put into use in major towns in the county (as in Newbridge, left) have also made a big difference, according to the report. (Pictured below are a group of young people taking part in the Summer Litter Control Unit programme organised by Kilcullen Tidy Towns.)
