TIDY TOWNS

Sincere thanks to the several wonderful volunteers who took part in our Community Litter pick, on what was a blustery Saturday morning last weekend. Eleven different roads in the parish were targeted with drinks bottles, cans and coffee cups the most common items collected by the volunteers. Don’t forget we can all play our part, so if there’s a section of your road that needs a litter pick, why not drop into Lerrig Stores, ask for the green Tidy Towns bin bags, and you’ll get all the info you need as to where to leave the bags for collection.

Let’s work together to keep our Kingdom clean by reminding ourselves and others to drive our litter home.

If you’re looking for something to do on Easter Sunday night while also supporting your local parish, why not drop down to the annual Tidy Towns Kilmoyley table quiz taking place on Easter Sunday night, 12th April, in Tóchar Bán at 9.15pm.
