Around this time last year, there was a major clean up of all roads leading in to the Village. This clean-up was spearheaded by local Fas and Local Authority workers. The clean up or late Spring clean was highly successful and left the roadsides quite clean and devoid of litter and rubbish. Alas, the situation has not continued and the approach roads to the village could again do with a good clean-up. I wonder if there is a chance of Clean-up 2008 being repeated in the near future. Of course, there should be an obligation on all property owners to help to keep the roadsides tidy outside their own property. There is an onus also on all passers by to avoid the dumping of litter or rubbish on the roadsides and all who do this should be reported to the Authorities.

It is all very well to teach a tidy village and a tidy countryside in our schools, but we seem to fall down when it comes to reporting "dumpers" to the Local Authoirty. What are the chances of immmediate improvement. This is a matter which affects everyone.
