Ballymaleel Residents getting in on the cleaning act.
The residents of the Loughside Community were out in force last Saturday (April 16th) with a massive cleanup operation taking place in the townlands between Ramelton and Letterkenny.
Almost 100 residents again took to the roads and streets of the Loughside to clear the area of rubbish and litter.
Loughside residents met at a number of prearranged meeting points at 10:30am and townland area coordinators managed the clean up in their respective Townland areas.
The residents spent two hours lifting rubbish and litter before meeting in the Silver Tassie at 1pm for a cup of tea/coffee and biscuits, kindly sponsored by the Ciaran and Rose Blaney.
Frank and Mary Kelly did their part.
The collection equipment, bags, gloves, high viz vests and the collection Skip were all provided by Donegal County Council.
Loughside Community PRO Noel Sweeney said “This was our third year organising a clean-up day and we were again delighted with the turn out”. “It was a very worthwhile exercise and the residents of Loughside Community should be extremely proud of themselves”. “The Loughside is spanking clean you could eat your dinner off it”. “We filled the skip that was provided and three additional trailers”.
Residents from Loughside
The Loughside Community would again like to thank Martin Roarty and the Waste Department of Donegal County Council for the support and the Silver Tassie for providing the tea coffee and biscuits.
A special word of thanks must also go to Hugo Callan, Tom McMullan, Tom Giblin, and Patrick Gibbons who all provided their cars, vans and trailers to transport the rubbish.
Lower Cashelshanaghan Residents did their bit.
