KEEP YOUR VILLAGE TIDY

As many of you may already know, the 2020 Tidy Towns Competitio­n has been cancelled. The competitio­n is all about bringing volunteers in our community together to look after their locality, something that is now impossible as we follow government guidelines.

However, that isn’t to say that we don’t still need your help, on those fine days, we ask all to take a look around your area – is there litter to be picked up, weeds to be picked, hedges to be trimmed, walls/houses to be painted or flowers to be planted. W.

hen you are out an about exercising, within your 5km, please look around and see what you can do to keep Clonegal and Kildavin looking beautiful.

COMMUNITY GROUP – VOLUNTEERS

Clonegal/Kildavin Community Group are continuing to offer its support and assistance to the elderly, vulnerable and people who are in need of help during the Covid-19 crisis. The group is currently working with supermarke­ts and Chemists. They will assist in picking up prescripti­ons, groceries or if even have a friendly chat. All calls are treated with the strictest confidence and deliveries will be made in line of the HSE guidelines. Please phone 087 7181850, please share this number with your neighbours who may be living on their own.

However, that isn’t to say that we don’t still need your help, on those fine days, we ask all to take a look around your own area – is there ? litter to be picked up? Weeds to be picked? Hedges to be trimmed? Walls/houses to be painted? Flowers to be planted? There always is. When you are out and about exercising, within your 5k, please take a look around and see what you can do to keep the area looking beautiful.
