Novel Plan For The Sound Of Music

The county council is turning to musical messages to reward those who do their bit to keep our city clean and tidy.
Some city bins are being transformed to entertain and reward those who do the right thing by giving them a musical treat when they bin their litter.
The city would normally welcome thousands of visitors to the annual Roots Festival this weekend.
To fill the void, tunes will belt out from the litter bins for all of May at least.
Council Chief Executive, Colette Byrne, said that she was confident the novel idea would hit the right note in protecting the local environment.
“We hope that by associating responsible behaviour with fun and craic, that we will keep Kilkenny at the top of the table when it comes to litter leagues and lists of favourite places to live and visit,” she told Kilkenny Press.
