We had 16 volunteers out on Saturday 13th September and we got some amazing results due to the huge amount of work that the volunteers did on the day. They were out litter picking, cutting back brambles, nettle and branches sticking out onto the footpaths and hoeing and digging to retrieve the footpaths from leaves and dirt. There was 19 bags of rubbish and 4 large trailers full vegetation collected during the two and a half hours cleanup. It was a great mornings work on what is becoming one of the busiest approach roads to the town.
Congratulations to all the volunteers for their hard work and to the Council staff who were out supporting us. This shows just how keen Wexford Tidy Towns volunteers are, we recently achieved Bronze Medal status in the National Competition and on Wednesday and Saturday our team was out continuing to keep Wexford Tidy. Thank you everyone. And a special thank you to Gaelic Bar Wexford for lovely tea coffee and biscuits afterwards.
As enthusiastic and hard-working as we all are, we could always do with new volunteers, so if you have a couple of hours to spare why not become a Tidy Towns’ Volunteer. Our next clean-up is Saturday 20th at Kaat Strand as part of Clean Coast’s Big Coast Clean. We will gather at 10am and spend two hours cleaning the beach. There is always a good deal of litter washed up in this area so every pair of hands that we have will be greatly appreciated.
