Tidy Towns Competition

Tuesday, June 11, 2013 Posted inTidy Towns

The submission has been sent in for the Tidy Towns Competition so the Adjudicators could visit Shankill at any time.  We would ask residents to be mindful of their surrounds and dispose of any litter in sight.  Also please remove any graffiti if it can be easily dealt with, if not please contact us with details of where it is in the village.  If at all possible please ensure that the areas to the front of your houses/businesses are kept clean and tidy.

Let’s hope we win a silver medal this year!  It would be a great boost to those  who volunteer their time and efforts throughout the year.
