Tralee

By Georgie Downes
Fancy embracing your community spirit? Want to get involved in something special that will benefit your neighborhood and help spruce up the streets? Great! Tralee Tidy Towns is urgently looking for volunteers to cover the next two months because June 11th marks the beginning of the official adjudication period for the National Tidy Towns Competition.&nbsp;
Over the past three years Tralee has steadily gained points in the Tidy Towns league table, having jumped 15 points since 2019 to our current score of 338.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Tidy Towns isn’t just about litter-picking. Having said that, do we want more litter-pickers? Yes please. But this year, there’s also a call out for gardeners, anyone handy with a paint brush, people who know their way around social media, or folks who just like to get out and socialise.&nbsp;
“We’d love to hear from anyone who wants to see Tralee look good. They could be residents, or business people or families who want to get out and participate in civic activities. Anyone who takes pride in their place. We have the equipment, all we need are the people,” said Martha Farrell, Secretary of the Tralee Tidy Towns Committee.&nbsp;&nbsp;
There are three different groups of volunteers currently meeting in Tralee for litter-picking duty. The first group, organised by The Tralee Chamber Alliance, meets in the Brandon car park on Saturday mornings at 7.30am. The second group, Team Bramble, operate in conjunction with Tralee Lyons Club and meet in the Lidl car park on the Castlemaine Road at 10am on Sundays and the third group, the main Tralee Tidy Towns team, meet on Wednesday evenings in Garvey’s car park at 7pm. So, what are you all waiting for? Marigolds abu!
If you’d like to get involved, contact info@tralee.ie or info@traleetidytowns.ie or private message the Tralee Tidy Towns Facebook page.&nbsp;
