The final litter survey of 2022 by business group Irish Business Against Litter shows Sligo again deemed clean and rising to 17th spot in the ranking of 40 towns and cities nationwide.
Three quarters of Ireland’s cities and towns were deemed ‘clean’ in 2022, compared to just over half in the previous year. Naas was again top of the rankings.
An Taisce conducted the survey on behalf of IBAL. The report for Sligo claims six out of the ten sites surveyed received the top litter grade and just one heavily littered site.
The other three just sites surveyed missed the top litter grade.
Among the top-ranking sites were the three approach roads, Famine Sculpture at Custom House Quay and Sligo Courthouse.
The report says the Famine Sculpture and Sligo Courthouse were very well presented and maintained.
By far the most heavily littered site surveyed was Sligo University Hospital something the report claims brought down the overall result for Sligo.
Conor Horgan from IBAL says the report is positive for Sligo:
