Kinvara Tidy Towns

  • We in Kinvara Tidy Towns support the policy of social distancing till we are advised otherwise and so we are cancelling all Tidy Towns group activities till further notice. If you would like to get some fresh air and exercise by yourself we have taken the decision to leave our Tidy Towns shed unlocked for now. There are litter pickers and wheelie bins and some gloves and some garden tools in there. You are very welcome to do whatever activity you choose whether it is a litter pick around the town or the quay or some weeding/planting of any of the flower beds around the Community Centre or the school or elsewhere.

Please leave the shed tidy and if you can take the litter home that’s great or if not leave in the bin and we will try to sort it. Please leave all the tools/equipment back where you got it. Please close the door and fix with the bolt when you are leaving.
