POOPERS V SCOOPERS - NO CONTEST

It’s quite difficult to walk one hundred meters on the footpaths of Mornington, Bettystown and Laytown without encountering dog droppings. Since the pooper scoopers came out there has been a shortage of scoopers which are concurrently running with an increase in poopers.

SHOP FRONTS

It has been mooted recently by Cllr Sharon Tolan that Meath co-council should include a shop front improvement scheme in the 2018 budget for businesses in the Laytown and Bettystown municipal district, as these businesses contribute to many events.

Obviously, this will include Harry’s Centra in Mornington and Paul Berrill’s bicycle and lawnmowers outlet. Not forgetting the flower yard all of whom contribute to various causes. Now they do not need improvement but if they get it so be it.
