This week as part of the An Taisce National Spring Clean month, Strokestown Tidy Town Group are out and about in the area meeting National School pupils and teachers. Today we were in beautiful Clooncagh Primary School and, with the stunning sunshine beaming down, it’s clear to see why the kids absolutely loved it … items like radios, teapots and traffic cones bringing amusement to and questions from the kids. Thanks to Annette Woods Donlon for her support providing some of the equipment to help and also her part in collecting the materials we removed. A mention of thanks to the Sliabh Báwn Community Amenity Group who provided the RTV for traffic/safety management on the road. This is a brilliant piece of equipment that makes such events safer and also brings smiles to the kids who loaded up the bags afterwards. We will be seeing you out and about for the rest of the week and next week of the weather stays fine and sunny Strokestown Tidy Town Group took our An Taisce National Spring Clean campaign out to Kiltrustan National School. The ‘ickle’ ones tackled the graveyard adjacent to the school while the older crew headed for the hedgerows. Like bees in a hive, the wee ones had speed and energy in bag fulls. The more seasoned students were methodical and strategic in their approach. The future of the Kiltrustansports Club is bright with such wonderful young people and we look forward to seeing you all at their Sports Day later this year. Massive THANK YOU to the staff who were fantastically helpful and supportive and CONGRATULATIONS on being awarded another Green Flag. Again the RTV from Sliabh Báwn Community Amenity Group proved hugely beneficial with traffic control, especially with the HGV/truck traffic. The penultimate school on the Strokestown Tidy Town Group whirlwind An Taisce National Spring Clean week was St Patricks National School. A quick run around the Boreen Road saw some seriously tough competition between the lads but again a great result with the Health Centre providing a large amount of litter. Massive THANK YOU to the staff again for their support and CONGRATULATIONS on another Green Flag winner in Strokestown. Once again the Sliabh Báwn Community Amenity Group RTV proved a huge hit with the lads and was extremely helpful in collecting all the bags and helping to bring the message across of their and our efforts. The 2023 Tidy Towns judging process will be starting soon (with adjudicators visiting Strokestown (unannounced) so we are asking all residents and businesses to please continue your efforts in maintaining your estates, your shopfronts and the Town. The "Tidy Town Core Group" are all busy in their own estates and already excited about the Club Clean Up Day . Between new bins (with super support from the environmental department of Roscommon County Council emptying those and organising for the sweeper to be in town regularly) it is very easy to see the time, effort and energy being put in. THANK YOU St. Mary's Primary School Strokestown completed our schools An Taisce National Spring Clean in the area. Some beautiful sunshine only beaten by the laughs of the kids. Massive THANK YOU to the teachers who were also out today enjoying the early summer sun. See you all on June 3rd for the ... "Club & Community Clean Up Day" Comments are closed.
