Anti Litter Challenge – Result
On 3rd September, Thursday evening next, a representative group for Millstreet Tidy Town Association will be attending the results evening in Cork County Hall. We will find where we have placed in Anti Litter Challenge for 2015. Fingers crossed. If we win this the money which is in the prize fund will go along way to help Millstreet Tidy Town Association with the annual costs that are incurred each year. Here’s hoping for a good result.
Weekly Litter Pick Up – Last in Season
In the words of Old Blue Eyes, “And now the end is near…” The final Litter Pick Up for 2015 is season is upon us. Same Bat Time, Same Bat Channel, 7pm in The Square, Millstreet. Bags, Pickers and Gloves provided. Millstreet Tidy Town Association would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the stalwarts. To all those who come out on a Thursday evening week in week out. To all those who off their own backs are picking litter up on a DAILY basis. To all the lads in FÁS. To all those who have cleaned up even just outside their own houses and business premises. These people are an absolute credit to Millstreet Town and Millstreet Tidy Town are hugely grateful for the time and effort that these people go to keep Millstreet the beautiful town that it is. Thank you all very much.
A Little Help
A Little help goes a long way, and never a truer word was said when it comes to Millstreet Tidy Town Association. Everybody can do a little bit, even something as small as sweeping the pavement outside your house or picking up that one piece of litter on the way home or running to the shop. All these little acts make a huge difference to your community and environment. So grab a sweeping brush, or a pair of gloves and give a quick scoot around your area, just outside your door or front gate. It will make a massive difference and it only takes 2 minutes out of your day. Lets make Millstreet a tidier and more beautiful place to live.
