Community Spirit

Great community spirit and lots of positive energy was evident in Boyle last Thursday evening. We are really grateful to all those who made the effort to turn up on a damp cool evening. I think everybody there had a sense of pride when they looked at what we had achieved. The Royal Hotel car park looks one hundred times better following removal of weeds and dead shrubs. A large amount of litter was collected in the Lawn and Patricks Well and the Pleasure Grounds. Well done to all involved. Thanks also to Paddy and Mary for keeping the lane by the river litter free.

Our enthusiastic group are anxious to meet again next Thursday to continue this good work. Details of the meeting points will be posted later. We have been informed by Roscommon Co Co (Boyle Office) that the spraying of weeds will start as soon as the weather settles. This is badly needed as they are growing at great rate. Pea gravel is been sourced for the shrubberies on the cresent and we hope this will be applied after the spraying.

Clean Machine In Town

The human clean machine rolled into town last Thursday evening. Drapped in high-vis vests and armed with brushes, shovels, spades, wheelbarrows this machine worked hard for 90 mins leaving the Cresent an area to be proud of. Hopefully we will get some gravel for the beds to finish off this area.
Such was the success of the evening that the machine will roll on down town. Come and join us on Thursday next,May 19th, at 7pm. We are meeting in the Royal Hotel car-park and concentrating on thye central part of town. Bring your tools or anything you might think is useful. See you there!

Church Gate Collection

The annual church gate collection is on next weekend. Money collected goes towards the cost of flowers and plants for the town and other tidy town initiatives.

Recycle your seed trays

In order to reduce costs Boyle Tidy Towns will be growing flowers from seed for next year. We are looking for old seed trays or containers from bedding plants. If you have any lying around after this years' planting please contact Jan on (086) 0667163 or Jackie on (086) 3200915.

Road Sweeper Coming To Town

The road sweeper will be in town early on Friday morning. The local council office have coordinated this to sweep up after the clean -up on Thursday evening. We are asking that employees and business owners in town will please use the off-street parking on Friday morning to allow the sweeper to get a good job done. Also anybody parking in town overnight on Thursday night is asked to park in the car-parks to facilitate this.

Civic Responsibility Week

The Dept of the Environment has deemed this coming week as Civic Responsibility Week. To mark this week Boyle Tidy Towns and Boyle Chamber of Commerce have organised a MASSIVE CLEAN-UP. On Thursday evening next, May 12th we need; weeders, litter pickers and sweepers. We need lots of bodies to come out at 7pm, meeting on the Cresent, to give our town a good once-over. Please bring along a yard brush if you have one or any other tool you might deem useful. We need a number of teams to go in different directions and get the work done. Please come and bring a friend. We need to get this work done and we can't stand around any longer and wait for someone else to do it.

This Week's Clean-Up

This week the spring clean-up is moving into town. Starting at the Pleasure Grounds we plan to move across by the river to the lawn area. This is the last clean-up of the April Spring Clean campaign and this one is always the most interesting. Come along and join in this random treasure hunt! You'd never believe what you might find stashed away under a tree! There might even be a prize for the most interesting find!! Please come along. We have lots of spare gloves and refuse sacks. We just need one hour of your time and your community spirit! See you there!
