BALLINDANGAN COMMUNITY SPRING CLEAN
Let’s all clean up Ballindangan on this weekend, the 10-11 April as part of An Taisce’s National Spring Clean Campaign. We are encouraging people to clean up close to their own homes in compliance with Covid-19 guidelines. Stay close to your home and stay safe. We will post more details in the coming days. Please do not clean on the main Mitchelstown - Ballindangan-Glanworth Road due to the volume of traffic and be careful on all other roads.
