The rain held off for much of this morning's @MidletonTidy outing. The unchecked blight of dog fouling - grotesquely evident today - requires a change in policy by @Corkcoco.
We need a more proactive, tougher approach - to recruit more litter wardens & provide dog fouling bins.
Productive morning with @MidletonTidy.
We picked up three large weighty bags of unknown material, dumped over the Cork Road bridge, along with a perfectly intact scooter.
Great to be back out with @MidletonTidy this morning. Again, much of town was in good condition.
Some grim deposits by the bridge near Market Green but overall an encouraging outing. New volunteers always welcome.
A smaller group out with @MidletonTidy this morning. A few teeming bins to contend with but much of town was in very good condition.
We hope to have more of a focus on biodiversity initiatives & place-making in the coming months.
New volunteers are v welcome.
Great to be out with @MidletonTidy earlier, around the Mill Road, the train station and Park St, as well as under the bridge near Market Green.
Lesson of the day was to bring a separate bag for Deposit Return containers.
@CoffeeDoq @DarrenMul @LiamQuaide Happy to link up and liaise on this @CoffeeDoq
Send a dm and we can go for a coffee?!
Would be delighted if you wanted to help.
Thanks @LiamQuaide for highlighting. One of our longstanding volunteers. 😅
Cats should wear bells to stop them killing birds, says Natural England’s @TonyJuniper
Interesting contrast to @Natures_Voice which says “there is no clear scientific evidence that such mortality is causing bird populations to decline” https://t.co/bfePt2eGZU
Great weather for @MidletonTidy's outing this morning and much to be done.
A committed & hard-working core group of volunteers with more joining us all the time.
It was satisfying to able to separate quite a volume of cans for the Deposit Return machines.
Important to have Midleton looking its best for the St. Patrick's Day parade today.
@MidletonTidy were out in force this morning.
Aside from the odd nest of cigarette butts & cluster of fruit peelings, the town centre was in good condition.
Looking forward to the parade later!
Great to be out again with @MidletonTidy. We tackled some of the walkways near Ballyannan woods.
Aside from the festering troves of dog-poo bags, an uplifting morning of community spirit!
