TIDY TOWNS:
Judging is still ongoing in this year’s competition, We’re keeping our fingers crossed that the village can hopefully increase its marks even further this year. You can help Ballylongford do well in the competition by ensuring that your own property is well presented over the period (including front garden, boundary walls, fences, hedges), and by keeping the footpath and curbside outside of your property weed free and clean. Also, if you are out and about, it would help enormously if you would pick up any litter you come across and put it in the nearest bin. Finally, if you have an hour to spare on any given Tuesday or Thursday evenings, why not join us
