Call to keep town tidy

Tidy Towns judging will be taking place over the coming weeks and we ask that all residents and businesses in the town make an extra effort to keep the town clean and tidy.

Well done to all the businesses who have painted and brightened up their premises, the resident committees who have their estates looking great. With almost all the window flowers boxes are up and the Bridge flowers in place, the town is looking good.

The Valley Park is one area where litter is a problem. Anyone using the park should use the bins in place and not leave litter lying around. The approach roads are other areas which need constant litter removal - again we ask all residents to take their litter home.



Kildare County Council's litter team are in the town on a regular basis and their efforts along with the Tidy Towns litter picks, have improved the cleanliness of the town significantly. This Council service is invaluable to the Tidy Towns effort and hopefully the funding issues we all hear about will not impact the service.



Remember it is your town so be proud of it and do your bit to keep it neat and tidy.
