NO POSTERS PLEASE

With the presidenti­al Election approachin­g, Tubbercurr­y Tidy Towns will be joining forces with other Tidy Towns groups in villages and towns around Ireland, requesting that No Election Posters be erected within the 50km zone on any approach road within the town.

These posters are a blight on the roadside and streets cape, and can quickly become unsightly. There are plenty of more effective ways of promoting candidates which are environmen­tally friendlier and less costly. Good luck to all the candidates involved.
