The square in Dunfanaghy has been receiving a facelift recently courtesy of a group of Ukrainians who are resident in the area.

The team were busy during the week repainting the metalwork on the railings, benches, bollards, and signboards, which had been badly tarnished.

The operation was organised by Dunfanaghy Tidy Towns, which provided tins of black paint and brushes, and is part of the organisation’s programme to improve the appearance of the village.

The three painters are Ludmilla Sharko, Elya Khyrstenka and her husband Aleksandr, who are among a number of Ukrainians who settled in the Dunfanaghy area last September. 

Diana Walford, chair of Dunfanaghy Tidy Towns, said: “The Ukrainians were keen to assist with the painting and they have done a very professional job. They are enjoying being part of the community and have been made to feel welcome here.”

Elya said: “We were pleased to be able to help Tidy Towns in their ongoing efforts to make the square look a little smarter so thanks to Tidy Towns for involving us.”

Last month the Ukrainians were also involved in a Tidy Towns tree-planting programme on the verge of the N56 close to Dunfanaghy Golf Club.
