ABOUT US
Our mission is to make Stradbally a better place to live. We live in one of the most beautiful places in Ireland and we aim to keep it beautiful!
Stradbally Tidy Towns Committee usually holds work evenings on Tuesdays and Thursdays during the spring and summer months. Look out for us in our yellow vests! Please help in anyway you can, eg help out on work evenings, planting, painting, weeding, sweeping, pruning. Any and all help is always gratefully appreciated. Keeping your own area looking its best is a really helpful contribution.
The committee also meets a few times a year, usually on Tuesday evenings to plan events and projects. We also organise events such as the Spring Clean, Heart Foundation walk, and wildlife related events.
Ideas and suggestions for what Stradbally Tidy Towns could or should be doing are always appreciated – please contact our secretary. Please support our fund raising activities particularly our annual raffle
