Last Saturday ‘s weather was idyllic for the renewed partnership between the local Tidy Town Committee and Municipal District personnel as they joined forces and initiated a huge Spring Clean initiative, Some forty people gathered at the SuperValu car park and divided into 6 teams focusing on a number of areas around the town in a major clean up. While many of the volunteers were on litter picking duty across four designated areas, MD outdoor staff were washing town signage and litter bins and helped by Tidy Town scheme workers collected the many bags of rubbish collected over the morning. The initiative was well planned and also involved some civic-minded volunteers who assisted. High Viz vests for all were sponsored by Birdy Newsagents and on completion of the work the local authority provided some light refreshments for all those involved.
The efforts of everyone involved will have raised the profile of the Tidy Town Committee and Municipal District in their joint efforts to achieve yet another gold medal in the 2025 National Tidy Town competition.
