ENVIRONMENT GROUP
As the Tidy Towns Adjudicators will be in the area shortly, the group would encourage everyone to make an effort to keep their area clean and tidy. Now is the time to paint that wall and to tidy up the garden. Please don’t forget the bit outside of your property that we just couldn’t get to this year. Every little help is appreciated. The group meets up every Wednesday evening at 6.30 p.m. and on Saturday mornings at 9.30 a.m. in the Memorial Park if you wish to assist us in our endeavours.
Reminder: A WEEE (Waste Electric and Electronic Equipment) cage only for small Household electrical goods and a container for the recycling of fluorescent tubes is situated at the back of the Railway Social Club. It is open on Saturday Mornings between 10.00 and 11.30 a.m., weather permitting.
