We will keep you informed when we officially hear the result from the District Council.
It is that time of year again when we organise (he Clean Sweep, The date for the event will be the Tuesday, 23rd May 2006. We try and make this the village spring cleaning day when we ask as many people as possible to clean up their bit of the village. Normally with help from Pat, Marion & John Guiry the rubbish is collected. We also try and arrange that the road sweeper comes on the day or shortly before. It would be great if you could keep an eye out for the sweeper and move your vehicle so there will be less sweeping for everyone to do.
