Do a "litter bit" for a
tidier Buncrana
25.03.08
THE first week of April
has been named official Buncrana Spring Clean Week
and the local Tidy Towns committee is encouraging
everyone to do a "litter bit" to help.
Areas that have let the seaside town down in the
past are litter control, particularly on the Bank
Holidays, waste management, derelict sites and the
Main Street. |
A full programme of
action had been set out and will be on public
display. But individuals and groups are invited to
use their own initiative and help clean wherever
they can.
Buncrana Town Mayor, Cllr. Paul Bradley will
officially get things underway on Monday, March 31
at 6.15pm.
"It's hoped that as many groups |
 |
and individuals as
possible will take part in Buncrana Spring Clean
Week," said committee secretary, Columba Quigley.
Those taking part so far include all the local
schools; Youth Reach; the supermarkets and shop
owners. Businesses are being invited to use theh
opportunity to do a general clean up around their
premises.
"Residents' groups can be a big force in the town
and a designated area will be targeted each evening
for cleaning up," added Columba.
