Buttevant Community Council, having resumed their monthly meetings, are already, to the forefront, of activity, for the good, of the town, and the local community. The Community Council is , currently lobbying Councillors, T.D’s, and authoritative organisations, and groups, with a view to perfect the traffic situation, at the Colaiste Mhuire entrance, which is causing “mayhem”,with the “willy-nilly” parking being practised, by motorists parking, at the entrance. This situation is an accident, waiting to happen, and no doubt, will not be rectified, until some serious accident occurs there. Parents, and guardians, should realise the dangerous situation, they are causing, by obstructing, passing traffic, and also by parking , in the industrial estate, where businesses are working hard, to make a living. Please be more considerate, when, and where, you park, when “dropping off”, your children,,attending the Colaiste.
The Community Council is also liasioning with “Bus Eireann”, and Cork County Council, with the possibility of erecting two bus shelters, on the Main Street, of Buttevant. Litter is still a problem, in the town, with no respect being shown, with the depositing, of litter, in all areas. The Community Council, is contacting, Cork County Council, with the view of having , at least, a twice-weekly “street-sweep”, and general landscape improvement, and also, the possibility of having a “litter warden”, patrolling the town area, and environs, on certain days, of the week. Although, everybody may not agree, in general, that the Community Council, is of benefit, to the town, and there are those who are constantly “talking down” the organisation, Buttevant Community Council is always, to the fore-front, where Buttevant, and its’ residents, are concerned. The Community Council, and its’ officers, are always available, to offer help, and advice,and direction, to anyone who may need help, with the relevant authorities, governing bodies, and organisation, in obtaining the advice, and help, they need.

This is a most disabilitating disease, for which, at the moment, there is no known cure, with experiments constantly being carried out. This event is dedicated to the memory of a local family member, John Gayer, formerly of Boherascrub, Buttevant, who was struck down, by the disease, recently. Registration took place at,”The Crossroads Bar” on the Chuchtown/ Liscarroll road, and a tremendous turn-out, of all types of tractors, and machinery, was evident. Refreshments, were available at “The Crossroads”, in conjunction with the “run”. The amount of aponsorship, and support, was tremendous, and attracted numerous on-lookers, along the way. No doubt, the organisers, of the event, were over-whelmed, and appreciative, of the wonderful support, and attendance. Up-to-date information, regarding donations, and sponsorship, shows the substantial sum of, -€19,882.79-, has been raised, with more monies still adding to this amount.
Well done, to all concerned.
