It gives me no pleasure to report that Enniscorthy's claim to being the dirtiest town in the South East is still intact. In recent weeks the expensive, new pavements throughout the town have rapidly deteriorated with the ubiquitous chewing gum, now turned black, spread everywhere due to the heatwave. Things are now so bad that I doubt cleaning, if attempted, would be successful. Elsewhere there are oil trails, and other markings (possibly restaurant waste) all over the pavement. All in all, after the spending of in excess of €800k the town is left with an unholy mess but will anybody held to account?
Above: a tell tale trail near the junction of Church Street and Rafter Street - this pic doesn't do justice to just how bad this stretch of pavement has now become.
Further down Church Street a large chunk of the new kerb has been smashed and, apart from its unsightly appearance, is a compensation claim waiting to happen.
Above: the state of the new paving on the way up from Dunnes Stores to the Market Square is beyond description.
The work of the village idiots in the Murphy Floods carpark - undoubtedly tourists will flock to see these unique cave(men) drawings.
