Improving the Environment
LCCSP promotes practical solutions to the problems of illegal dumping, litter and graffiti. Such solutions include reporting illegally dumped rubbish to Limerick City Council’s Environment department, organising community clean-ups, monitoring illegal dumping black spots and participating in graffiti removal programmes.
Our litter pick scheme which runs from April to September encourages residents to take responsibility for their neighbourhoods. Due to the success of the scheme, in 2009 we created a competition where residents who take part in the litter picks compete for the title of ‘Best Kept Neighbourhood’. To follow on from that we held a poster competition in Glasgow Park after a clean up day in July 2010. We asked young residents to develop a poster to encourage the residents to keep Glasgow Park! After receiving many entry's the winner was Ben Hickey. We printed off his winning poster and gave one to every house in Glasgow Park. Residents then displayed the poster on there windows to spread Ben's slogan "Stop Monkying, Keep Glasgow Park Clean!"
LCCSP provides information to residents on why a cleaner greener environment benefits all.
