From this week's Bennettsbridge Notes

While Tidy Towns activities on the whole tend to be carried out in spring, summer and autumn, a local family continues to keep their area litter-free all year round.

The Hennessy family in Bennettsbridge has been carrying out regular litter-picks in their area. Last week they were joined in their activity by their grandfather, John (Gus) Hennessy, well known referee in GAA circles, now in his 84th year.

Well done to the family who covered the area between Kilbline, Tullaherin and Castlefield Lane, encouraged by their dad, Killian. It would be of great help to the local Tidy Towns effort if other people in the community could follow their example.
