Shankill Tidy Towns Annual Clean Up Day 2017

Shankill Tidy Towns are holding their Annual Clean Up Day this Saturday 22nd April.

Below you will find their message for everyone who would like to help.

We're hoping for more volunteers so we hope you’ll join in a number of community work groups by turning up at 2p.m. at the Quinns Road Roundabout or at the Garda Station on the 22nd. If you have any litter pickers, tools or Hi-Vis jackets please bring them along. We need everybody involved, young and old to make some contribution to the appearance of our neighbourhood by tackling grass edges, trees or bushes protruding on to the footpaths, sweeping, weeding, etc. 
We really hope we get a good turn out this year and the weather will allow us to get loads done.  We need your help to ensure that Shankill remains a great place in which to live and we look forward to seeing you on the 22nd at 2 p.m. All participants are invited to join us for some food in Brady's at 4:30 p.m.
