Tidy Town Annual Clean Up Brings the Shankill Community Together

Saturday 22nd April 2017 was the perfect day for the Tidy Towns Annual Clean Up, not only because it coincided with Earth Day, but also because the weather could not have been more helpful.

All the brave volunteers gathered at the Garda Station in Shankill and at the top of Quinn's Road for the start of the clean up. The event took place from 2 p.m. until approximately 4:30 p.m. and was followed by a barbecue courtesy of Brady's Pub.

As the main organiser, Shankill Tidy Towns provided all the necessary tools and equipment. An impressive number of local people, including members of the scouts team and local politicians, joined them to make the village cleaner and tidier.










Shankill proved once again that there is a great sense of community in the village and that it will be a serious competitor in this year's Tidy Towns competition.









Lots of children participated in the event with their parents, so well done to them!

One cannot feel but admiration for the volunteers and the members of Shankill Tidy Towns organisation who took from their free time to participate in this spring clean up, which hopefully will be rewarded again in the Tidy Towns competition.
