BALLYPOREEN

TIDY TOWNS

As April is National Spring-clean month we will do a litter pick in the village and approach roads on Tuesday, 25th and Thursday 27th. We will meet outside the Community Centre at 7pm for distribution of litter bags and gloves. We have a very limited number of litter pickers available so would appreciate if you could bring along your own. We would be delighted for as many people as possible to attend. For those who are unable to attend we would appreciate if people could do a clean up in the immediate vicinity of your own homes.
