Important notice from Wicklow County Council ‼️

As Halloween celebrations draw closer, Wicklow County Council wish to remind householders and individuals who hand over their waste for bonfire purposes at Halloween that they will be liable for prosecution under the Waste Management (Prohibition of Waste Disposal by Burning) Regulations 2009.

Waste includes household domestic rubbish, beds & mattresses, tyres, tables & chairs, carpets, washing machines, prams, garden waste, aerosol cans, t.v.’s, etc. The burning of these items causes toxic and dangerous pollutants to be created and emitted into the air we breathe which can have profound long-term health implications.

Please note: Wicklow Local Authorities will not carry out clean ups before or after bonfires and will not be responsible for the cost of any clean ups after bonfires.

If you require further information please contact the Environmental Services Department, Waste Management Section on 0404 20127.

Yesterday, 29th October, Gardai at Baltinglass detailed for proactive patrols and checkpoints, intercepted a vehicle with no tax. A drug wipe revealed the presence of co***ne in the drivers saliva. The driver was arrested and a blood sample taken to be analysed by the Medical Bureau of Road Safety. The vehicle was seized. Later, the same Gardai encountered a motorist travelling at 159kmph in an 80kmph zone on the n81 at Ballinacrow where the driver was arrested.
Please play your part in making the roads a safer place.

Keeping people safe this Halloween 🎃

Sergeant Sinead O’Keeffe spoke to East Coast FM this morning about Gardaí policing arrangements for Halloween night and the importance of keeping communities safe over the Halloween period.

Gardaí will be carrying out additional policing duties, with a focus on public safety, responding to incidents and addressing anti-social behaviour. Public Order units will also operate to provide assistance where required.

Our priority is to ensure that everyone can enjoy Halloween safely, while minimising disruption to local communities.

We are reminding everyone to act responsibly, respect their neighbours and be mindful of the safety of others. Anti-social behaviour, intimidation and disorder will not be tolerated.

If you see something that causes concern, report it to Gardaí.
