1. It is time to put a long overdue end to the use of the black cast iron and black plastic public bins. They are not environmentally or recycling friendly. They are an eye sore and at times stomach churning to look at to see affluent seeping down their sides and leaking from the bottom.
2. It is time to put an end to the tractor and open trailer method of collecting pub bottles. Every time these bottles are collected, leftover waste from the bottles leak from the trailer onto the streets of Mullingar and leave quite a stench. This then stains the roadways and is an eye sore to visitors and locals alike. Is this the image you want to be leaving international visitors?
3. Establishments, in particular nite clubs must take responsibility for their punters vomiting on the streets late at night. They must take care to clean said affluent in an environmentally friendly way and not to leave visible signs on public walkways.
4. It is also time to move away from the Purple Flag accreditation which is a British standard and replaced with a recognised EU standard.
5. Turf cutting/extraction from bogs and use as fuel must be banned with immediate effect.
