Borrisoleigh Heritage & Culture
Borrisoleigh Tidy Towns
It’s hard to believe our re-energised Tidy Towns group has only been back up and running for three months!
A huge thank you to our fantastic volunteers whose hard work and dedication are already making a real difference. It’s wonderful to see our village looking cleaner, brighter and more welcoming.
A special word of thanks to the Castle Court Residents Association for the great work they continue to do in keeping their estate looking so well.
We’d also like to wish the newly reformed Mount George Residents Group every success. Please get in touch if there’s any way we can help.
We’d love to see other housing estates form residents’ groups too. By working together we can achieve so much more.
Everyone can help by sweeping and weeding outside their own home—every little effort makes a difference. We’re always looking for new volunteers, and we have some exciting projects planned over the coming months, finishing the summer with get-together for the volunteers.
Together, we can all take pride in making our village the best it can be. 
We meet up every Wednesday at 7 pm at the Square
All welcome
