Everyone knew this weekend was a bank holiday weekend, but for the second weekend running, Clothes Pods, in Parnell Carpark remain unemptied, left to overflow, while people happy to recycle, were left without service once again.
Last weekend, it was a similar scenario.
Early on Monday morning last (January 24th), a worker/workers removed the excess clothing they could reach; latter sticking out of locked, tightly packed Clothes Pods and also picked up numerous bags of clothing strewn on the ground, caused solely by the lack of space being provided.
Same were then tidied up, placed and tied neatly into clear plastic bags for collection.
However, since last weekend these locked Pods themselves were never emptied and today just 5 days later, (Saturday February 1st), our picture, shown above, tells the true tale of failures in basic Tipperary County Council administration.
This situation, which in fact constitutes illegal dumping, is helped by the fact that 3 clothing pods, one at ALDI carpark, one at Thurles Swimming Pool and one at junction of Mitchel Street and Boheravroon (Borroway), have been removed and not replaced since possibly July of 2024.
See our reports of August 3rd, 2024 – on May 3rd 2024 – going back as far as June 7th, 2021.
Surely someone on the ground, e.g. Thurles Traffic Warden etc., who presently go around photographing parked car registration plates, could be instructed to report on a daily/weekly basis, in an effort to correct this major issue, in a town which plays at pretending to encourage tourism.
