Fondest Greetings dear listeners and I wish you all the very best on this beautiful warm sunny Tuesday morning.

Our Town has adopted what they call “the Millstreet StreetScape System”. Which means that in conjunction with Dulux Paint Company,a Colour scheme for the whole town has been drawn up. Paint being supplied at a reduced price by the makers and the scheme is sponsored by the Co. Council ,Our Community Council and the Town traders. They are asking every able-bodied member of our Community to come out and help with the painting.

A start was made last evening on the Wall of St Mary’s Cemetery on the approach road to the town.  Power washing is being done ahead of the painters.

This wonderful project must be completed in 25 days.

So please answer the call for help. [read more …] “Eily’s Regional Report No. 1,222 – Tuesday, 17th June 2014”
