Lager louts litter Moville
playground

DOZENS of empty beer bottles are being removed from
Moville's seaside playground every week, according
to angry community activists.
They say the empty bottles are not only an ugly
sight for visitors to the seaside town but also pose
a real danger to children.
Moville Tidy Towns members Cllr Mickey Doherty and
John Putt say they're fed up with the ongoing
problem. They fear a child will get badly hurt on a
broken bottle while tourists will leave with a poor
impression of the town.
"I'm removing dozens of beer bottles from the
playground on an ongoing basis. It's just not on,"
said pensioner John. |
John and the tidy towns
team removed more than 15 empty beer bottles from
the seaside playpark during the big clean-up in the
town last Saturday as part of the National Spring
Clean 2010. The problem was just as bad the
following day, said Cllr Doherty.
He said the sight of beer bottles strewn on the
playground floor, swings and swirl seats would be
much worse if it wasn't for John's early-bird
clean-ups.
"It has really gone beyond all control at this
stage," said Cllr Doherty. "At the next electoral
area meeting of Donegal County Council I intend to
table a |
 |
|
motion calling for CCTV
cameras to be installed at Moville Playground
because this has to stop." |
