On the road to a cleaner country

Sir, – It was such a pleasure to drive this week on the N139 and notice how it had been cleared of litter. For many months this road, which carries much tourist traffic heading east and north from the airport and to the Hilton Airport Hotel, had been an eyesore, with plastic and bags stuck in the hedges and litter strewn along the road. My thanks to the crew who carried out this job and also to Fingal County Council. Keep up the good work. – Yours, etc,

ERNIE CROSSEN,

Kinsealy,
