Town gets a spring clean

ENNIS Town Council in partnership with Ennis Tidy Towns participated in the National Spring Clean by organising a very successful clean-up of Ennis town including residential estates, approach roads and part of the bypass last Saturday.

Over 27 residents groups took part in clean-ups of their estates and green areas and many more estates have signed up and will be doing a clean-up in the weeks ahead.
Waterpark House was the meeting point at 11am on Saturday, where a large number of volunteers were armed with gloves, bags and litter pickers set off to the various locations. This year, Lees Road, which has become a black spot for littering, was included.
The Ennis Lions Club cleaned the Kilrush Road, while a group from the Civil Defence tackled the Quin Road. The gardaí and staff from McDonalds cleaned the Tulla and Lahinch Roads. The residents of Woodhaven estate, after cleaning their own area, carried on and cleaned from the Kilrush Road roundabout all the way along the bypass to the Clarecastle roundabout.
Many other volunteers – together with staff members from Ennis Town Council and the business community – all contributed to a very successful spring clean.
