Up 7 Marks
The annual tidy towns results dropped into the secretary’s letter box during the week and they were very good news. The village increased its marking by a whopping 7 marks and we are very pleased. We went up five marks on how we manage litter and general waste. We held our own and did not slip any marks in any of the eight different categories. We also gained marks on street scape and housing. Well done to all our residents and workers in what has been a most difficult year for our volunteers. Next year’s campaign is in the planning and we will deliver a copy of the adjudicators report to every household for comment. As always we appeal for help in maintaining our lovely village and members to join our committee.

Road Works
The road repairs which were underway during the week on the Moore’s Road are completed. The nice new surfaces with their sparkling white lines look very well. The next works we have submitted to the Clonmel Borough Council are a disabled bay marked at the bird feeding area. Also we suggested lined walking route from the Loughtally cross to the Village Street similar to the inner relief road would be a contribution to general safety for pedestrians .The main issue we have identified is the high speed of the vehicle traffic through an urban area. We have requested 4 ramps strategically placed from the Hurling Club corner to the electronic speed panel. In Dungarvan town and Connolly Park Clonmel this issue of speeding has been addressed with multiple speed ramps and it definably works.
