Irish Business Against Litter (IBAL). Waterford is filthy, the entirety of the central square needs power washing and the old city wall towers like the Beech Tower are just full of garbage. Cans and homeless tents. Sligo is grand, until you leave the three main streets. Teeling Street and High Street look rough as fook and all the Celtic Tiger apartments are starting to look brutal.
Sligo looks lovely on O’Connell Street, and they’ve really done a lovely job down the so-called ‚Italian quarter‘ and along with the Garavogue River.
But High Street looks absolutely cat. Wouldn’t mind, but it could be a class street, has a hape of potential, but dereliction has destroyed it. How some of the buildings still have the same shop fronts is beyond me. The savoy cinema building must be empty now 30 years? And me heart aches every time I walk past Harry’s. Memories.
The mall is bad now as well. Imagine that was a thriving area with 3 or 4 student pubs all packed to the gills day and night, and every single one of them closed now.
Up da Deise bai
Well then run another survey that says they’re filthy, Bernard.
Both are pretty small and not exactly focus points for tourists so it’s easy to see why they are relatively well managed. I do find it ironic that Sligo won tidy towns considering the massive shortage of bins in the town but meh fair play to the locals
Wasn’t there controversy at some point about Waterford County Council putting bleach or chlorine or some other disinfectant into one of their rivers so the beach it fed into would look nice and clean? Lmao
It reminds me of the saying „putting lipstick on a pig“.
