Continue to help the Tidy Towns Committee with their efforts to keep Millstreet clean and presentable, both in town and the approach roads. Plant or paint your own place.
Please obey the County Council Signs and refrain from littering our graveyards. Many people will be coming throughout the coming months to pay homage to their loved ones or maybe search for their places of rest.
Let us keep them presentable for them.
