Ballyduff
NORTH WEXFORD 2K CLEAN
We are still asking every household to keep 20 meters both sides of your entrance litter-free as it makes our volunteers jobs so much easier. If you litter pick along any of the roads involved please message 087 8274447 so that a record can be kept of all the efforts made by our community and others can be notified so attention can be given to other areas that may need it.
Should you decide to litter pick along roads not entered in the NW2KC competition please let the group know as we will keep a record for Tidy Towns and Keep Wexford Beautiful competitions.

MONDAY EVENING MEETING
If anyone has old paint or plants from their garden they are disposing of perhaps you would consider donating them to the group or to the junior Tidy Towns for their new garden in the school. Ballyduff Development Group meet in the school car park on Monday evenings at 7 p.m. to work on our local area. If you can help in any way or have any ideas on how to add interest to our area please come along any evening that the group is gathering. We’re always delighted to see new faces. Thanks to everyone who supports Ballyduff Looking Beautiful.
