Litter picking continues when the weather is nice. All five approach roads are done (if necessary) a few times a week. There has been a significant reduction in the amount of litter discarded, and we hope this continues into the summer. Members of Ballinode Tidy Towns group assist our efforts on the Scotstown to Ballinode road, both groups share the job of keeping the road litter free by picking as far as Kilmore GAA grounds. We also thank the football club for their cooperation in keeping their grounds very well at Kilmore and at the "Home" ground in Scotstown village.
This cooperation is also very evident in the community support for the promotion of Gaeilge. The "Ciorcal Gaeilge" venue is provided by the club, and many member of the Tidy Towns committee attend and assist this fun way to learn Irish in a no hassle, no homework environment. We also appreciate the involvement of all residents and businesses in Scotstown in the Tidy Towns work. Recently, Scotstown Pharmacy introduced bilingual writing on it's packaging, a great initiative. We also commend the pharmacy and the office of Aughnashalvey Group Water Scheme Ltd for displaying the entries for the annual poster competition in their windows.
