Borrisoleigh  Tidy Towns

Community Spirit is Alive and Well in Borrisoleigh!

Borrisoleigh Tidy Towns would like to extend a sincere and heartfelt thank you to Marie and Philip Maher for giving our playground such a fantastic fresh new look, and to Trevor Groome for the trojan work carried out in our Willow Natural Play Area.
Thanks to their hard work and dedication, children in our community will enjoy many more hours of fun and play in these wonderful spaces.
 
We would also encourage everyone to help keep these areas looking their best by using the bins provided and disposing of litter, in particular dog litter, responsibly.
 
We look forward to continuing to work with volunteers, residents, and community groups to keep our village looking beautiful and welcoming for all.
Thank you to everyone who contributes their time and effort to making Borrisoleigh such a great place to live, work, and visit.
