Thanks to JS for this report
There have been instances of illegal dumping of rubbish or ‘fly-tipping’ in the estate over the past couple of weeks. It appears that the incidents have occurred within the laneways. This is not only illegal but represents a potentially serious health hazard.
The environment section of Westmeath Co. Co. was notified and are investigating. Cllrs Ken Glynn and Avril Whitney were also notified – many thanks to them for their quick responses and help.
Westmeath Co. Co.’s advice is that if you see someone fly-tipping, try to take note of:
- When and where it is happening
- Vehicle registration ( if applicable )
- Description of the vehicle – colour, make and model. Is there anything special about it? Does it have an insignia or contact numbers?
- What sort of rubbish is being dumped?
Please report the details to Westmeath County Council Environment Section on Lo-Call 1890 320 005 . It will only take a few minutes to report but will be a big help to the community.
