School Garden Clean Up

A call has been made to the general public to help to clear the school garden near the entrance steps. This has been a welcome sight for parents, pupils and the general public since its establishment. Now alas, it needs some gentle loving care. A long-awaited revamp is now necessary for future gardening projects to be undertaken.One section will be devoted entirely for biodiversity. If you are free on Saturday next, February15th, “a meitheal” will convene at the school from 11am to 2pm. Please bring along gardening tools and gloves. There are some large plants that need to be removed also and transplanted elsewhere. Refreshments will be served at The Cabin.


Tidy Towns Report Contd.

Streetscape and Public Places: “The streetscape was excellently presented on the day of ourvisit. The Franciscan Friary is a key landmark and tourist attraction. We commend your

efforts here in digitalising the tour booklet. We understand that you are planning on planting

some trees in the Abbey car park as suggested by last year’s adjudicator. We enjoyed our visit

to the Catholic Church. It provides a clear elevated view of the village. The Church is

maintained to a high standard and we are delighted to see that there is wheelchair access also

available. The Anglican church is also impressive. We noted that you have built new toilets in

the Church grounds providing wheelchair access. We wish you well with the continued

conservation and works on the Church of the Ascension. The courthouse is also another

impressive heritage building. We saw that it was recently upgraded. We are pleased to learn

that they have opened a workshop space on the ground floor of this building. The plaque on

the wall is clear and presented to a quality standard. We noted the photo plaques of the old

railway line and station added to the Railway Park. The railway park is a credit to you and we

also commend your efforts on making it wheelchair accessible. The streetscape is presented

to a high standard with many vibrant and freshly painted shopfronts and premises, e g An

Dochtúir on Abbey Street. We appreciate that you are making continued efforts to address the

derelict buildings in the village. We are glad that you have been contacted by the Town

Regeneration office of Cork County Council with regard to vacant properties. We see that

you are in the process of securing funding to build a new community hall. We wish you well

with this project. The village has undergone new road surfacing on the remaining streets. We

see that this has included traffic calming measures providing safety for pedestrians. We are

delighted to see bilingual signage throughout the village.”
