I would like to praise the efforts of Greystones Tidy Towns for their tireless work in the community. We are incredibly lucky to have such a hard working and dedicated group of civic minded individuals who are continually improving our town.

Their recent work at the Blacklion junction, their efforts near the Town Council building, on the beach, and around the fountain in Burnaby Park deserve huge praise. This small group of people have been able to achieve so much due to their never ending determination to work for the good of Greystones.

I, like many others, am guilty of not getting out to assist this brilliant group enough. This is why I am encouraging everyone to join me in giving a little of our time to helping out around the town. Greystones tidy towns are out every Saturday and often two nights a week and I hope you will join me in giving up a Saturday or an evening to work with this dedicated group of people.

I would also encourage everyone to look at their recently launch website – www.greystonestidytowns.ie - to see some of their excellent work and also to keep up to date with events they are planning.
