SPRING CLEAN
Duncormick and the surrounding areas are all set to wage war on litter. Litter bags and gloves provided by the county Council will be distrusted over the coming days to all residents taking part in the Duncormick clean-up. Last year we finished second in the county for our efforts. Many thanks to all of you who got out and rolled up your sleeves to rid our roads and ditches of unwanted rubbish. Please take shots of the areas you hope to clean before and after and some group shots with neighbours which we can use for our entry to the snap into action competition.
The clean-up week began last Wednesday, March 29, and concludes this Wednesday, April 5, This year we ask as many people as possible to take a little bit of time to pick rubbish and deposit at the collection point. Someone from the committee will be calling with the bags and any gloves we have and we will discuss arrangements for collection at that point.
