Fermoy Forum

Summer 2021 is going to be all about outdoor dining and outdoor activities, and there's nothing better than heading for a shop in the town centre and seeing the streets full of summer colours: bright flowers spilling over windowsills, a freshly-painted shopfront, and a gloriously litter-free sidewalk.
Fermoy - a Cleaner Town 'was initiated by a group of Fermoy residents to improve the environment in which we live and to build upon the voluntary effort of organisations and individuals within our town who wish to make Fermoy a nicer place to live.'&nbsp;
They're now encouraging businesses to brighten up their shopfronts with a fresh lick of paint or a basket full of summer blooms to welcome Fermoy locals back to the main streets.

In other fantastic news for residents and business owners alike, the Tidy Towns group has introduced a compostable bin outside The Heron Café and Hanley’s. Both outlets use compostable cups and lids.&nbsp;
Country Clean Recycling is collecting the bin for free, and now 'A Cleaner Town' are urging other businesses in the area to make the move to Compostable Cups, Lids and Food Packaging this summer.
They will assist by installing Compostable Bins – Go to ‘Fermoy A Cleaner Town' on Facebook or Text 085 2090838 and leave them a message.
