COMMUNITY LITTER PICK
Thanks to everyone who took part in our recent community litter pick for this year’s National and Wexford Spring Clean and the North Wexford 2K Clean and everyone who continues to work hard keeping our roads litter-free.
COMMUNITY ALERT
There has been an increase in suspicious activity in our area recently. We are thankful for everybody that texts or rings the Community Alert Phone to report any suspicious activity. This enables us to report this to the gardaí and send out an alert to the community to make them aware of what is happening.
For this initiative to operate as efficiently as possible the number to ring to report any activity is the Ballyduff Community Alert phone. This number was circulated to everybody who signed up for the scheme.
Do not text back to the alert message that is sent out as this will not go back to the Alert Phone. If you need this number please contact any member of the committee. Enniscorthy Garda Station can be contacted 24 hours a day at 053 9242580. Stay safe and Be Alert.
LOCAL NOTES
If you have anything you would like included in your local notes please contact 087 8274447 before 7 p.m. on Thursday evening.
