NEW RAISED BEDS
Some people may be wondering what has happened to the planter at the build-out at Cogans butchers. We have removed it and Fas have agreed to build a raised bed in its place. This hopefully will add more colour to the town centre. Work should commence shortly.

NATURE TRAIL
Plans are afoot to develop a nature trail from the lawn through the Pleasure Grounds and along by the river through the undeveloped area as far as the New Bridge. The Tidy Towns / River Development have been working closely with the National Parks and Wildlife Services on this exciting project. We aim to recognise wildlife as it exists in various habitats and environments along the river bank and it will have elements of both enjoyment and education .

REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE
The Tidy Towns Assoc have been storing leaves for "reuse" and some good quality leaf mould is now ready. It is ideal to use as a mulch for weed control or to improve soil quality. Residence Associations who would be interested in using some of this mulch should contact any of the committee members.
The Tidy Towns Association have received funding for the development of a small scale community composter. This composter will be for garden waste only (grass, leaves and hedge timmings) and we will be working on this project over the summer months.
