Molaga Tidy Towns
While this year’s national tidy towns competition has had to be postponed, the work of the local tidy towns association continues as before. On Tuesday evening next, a meitheal will take place in Timoleague at 7pm. Those interested in taking part are asked to assemble at The Abbey Car-Park behind the medical centre. Social distancing will be strictly adhered to and groups of 2 - 4 will be assigned a designated area within the village. If you feel that you can give a helping hand you will be more than welcome. A large clean up will be undertaken on all the approach roads to the village and on roads in the various townlands in the area within the next few weeks. Full details will be published next week.
