    Was out walking the dogs over the weekend and the rubbish that is dumped in the ditches is only disgusting. It's the road up to Martello beside the Educate Together School.
    Buggies , child stair gates , baby stuff and general household waste.
    WTF is wrong with people they won't pay €20 to go to the dump.

    We maintain this estate as is to keep it clean and looking nice as FCC have never bothered in the 8 years I've been there.

    What's the best course of action to take this further as e mails get me no where !

    When (and if) the local politicans come a knocking for your precious vote inform that FCC have done nothing with your area in 8 years. If they dont come knocking dig out their emails and let them know.
    Sadly you can do very little about the dumping except inform the Gardai.

    I used to live in Martello, and I know the residents (and I also joined in) often go through the rubbish to find any identifying information. A library ticket was one thing found, turned into the library in the hope they could track it. In the ditches is one thing, but they used to dump it on the footpaths too. It's such a horrendous shame since I know how hard the Martello residents (Hi guysl!) work to keep the place looking good, with clean-up days and residents fun days and such. We used to have trouble with people dumping their rubbish at the side of our house for feck's sake! Can't remember what it was that gave it away to us, but I do remember that we managed to pinpoint that whoever was dumping rubbish at the side of our gaff definitely lived in the Martello estate too.

    All I can say is if you're brave enough, try to go through the rubbish and find something to identify them. I'd actually be willing to help, I have a soft spot for that place after the two years I spent there.
