Cresent Area Clean-up

The Cresent area clean-up will be held on this Thursday evening at 7pm. This will mostly involve weeding of the shrubberies. Please come along and bring a friend. It might also be useful to bring something to kneel on. When people come to town they often meet in this area so it is important that it is looking well- every weed pulled is a weed less!

Flower Beds

Our new raised bed at Bridge St is now complete. Thanks to Fas who built the bed and a sincere thanks to Shane Feely who provided the bricks. The bed will be planted this week. Careful consideration is important in the selection of shrubs and flowers as biodiversity must be considered when planting in all public areas today.

The flowers around the town are looking very well and we are very grateful to all those who have undertaken the job of caring for these areas. If you are passing a bed and see flowers that need dead-heading, please feel free to do it-we won't be insulted!

We were wondering why the petunias in Elphin St were not doing so well, particularily under one of the trees. We got our answer on Friday evening. Dogs. Its quite annoying to see your flowers being dug up and we will be keeping a very close eye on this.

We have been informed that the council have sprayed the weeds around the town in the past few weeks. Some of the area in the town, especially around the Cresent area anf St Josephs hall need to be tidied up. We plan to hold a clean-up of this area in the coming days with a focus on weeding. It is important that we all play our part in ensuring our town looks its best. Details of this clean-up will be posted later.
