TIDY TOWNS
Tidy Towns Volunteers are doing their best for Rosslare and now they ask the business people and residents to help out by ‘minding their own patch’. Simply it means keeping the exterior of your property clear of weeds and litter, also making sure it is presented in a clean colourful way.
Our other request is that you refrain from using the electricity/ telegraph poles as a method of advertising, thereby helping the environment and helping to keep Rosslare clean and tidy. Adjudication of the Tidy Towns Competition takes place during June/ July so please support our volunteers and our efforts.
Dog Dirt is the scourge of the country and Rosslare is not immune, in fact we have lots of the stuff. Dog dirt is dangerous especially to the health of our children, so. Dog Owners pick it up and bin it.
