Louth Tidy Towns issue an appeal to general election candidates about posters

Louth Tidy Towns Together, representing Tidy Towns groups in the county, is asking all candidates in the upcoming general election to voluntarily comply with their request not to erect posters within the 50km/h speed limits and at landscaped approaches to nineteen designated towns and villages in County Louth. 

A spokesperson for the group said: “We are again seeking a voluntary commitment from candidates to avoid erecting posters in these designated areas, and feel that this limited restriction on where posters are erected is a reasonable compromise between the need for public engagement with the election process and the aesthetic and environmental considerations that concern our member groups. 

"We have been very pleased with the high level of compliance with similar requests at all elections and referendums dating back to 2018, and we hope that everybody campaigning this time around will also comply with this voluntary code”.
