Midleton Tidy Towns

The rain held off for much of this morning's @MidletonTidy outing. The unchecked blight of dog fouling - grotesquely evident today - requires a change in policy by @Corkcoco. We need a more proactive, tougher approach - to recruit more litter wardens & provide dog fouling bins.

Productive morning with @MidletonTidy. We picked up three large weighty bags of unknown material, dumped over the Cork Road bridge, along with a perfectly intact scooter.

Great to be back out with @MidletonTidy this morning. Again, much of town was in good condition. Some grim deposits by the bridge near Market Green but overall an encouraging outing. New volunteers always welcome.

Posters down! 3 missing. If anyone spots them pls let me know and I’ll get them 💚🗳️🥳 ⁦⁦@Corkcoco⁩ ⁦@CorkGreens⁩ ⁦@MidletonTidy⁩ 🙏

@LiamQuaide @SocDemsEastCork @SocDems @CorkSocDems Big congrats Liam.

I'm honoured to be elected in 3rd place for the Midleton/Youghal Local Electoral Area this evening. Huge thanks to my wife Róisín & all the @SocDemsEastCork members & party HQ staff who provided such invaluable support over the campaign.

@LiamQuaide @MidletonTidy @SocDemsEastCork @CorkSocDems Sorry not to make it today…I’ve taken in a foster 🐶 and he’s a bit needy 🐾💚

A smaller group out with @MidletonTidy this morning. A few teeming bins to contend with but much of town was in very good condition. We hope to have more of a focus on biodiversity initiatives & place-making in the coming months. New volunteers are v welcome.

Great to be out with @MidletonTidy earlier, around the Mill Road, the train station and Park St, as well as under the bridge near Market Green. Lesson of the day was to bring a separate bag for Deposit Return containers.

@DarrenMul @CoffeeDoq @LiamQuaide A chat over a coffee will solve much. Proactive volunteers with consideration are always in demand. 😉

Somebody down by the Northern Relief Road, Midleton was violently affronted by this image of eternal truth & justice. What a sad & twisted world we live in. On a serious note, if anyone is particularly adept on a ladder & willing to help please get in contact.

@CoffeeDoq @DarrenMul @LiamQuaide Happy to link up and liaise on this @CoffeeDoq Send a dm and we can go for a coffee?! Would be delighted if you wanted to help. Thanks @LiamQuaide for highlighting. One of our longstanding volunteers. 😅

@DarrenMul @LiamQuaide I feel the same way as you about the graffiti. I too am happy to volunteer my time in order to deal with it. How can we organise a clean up? I’m happy to paint or powerwash. Can we do it through @MidletonTidy ? What are the locations affected?

Cats should wear bells to stop them killing birds, says Natural England’s ⁦@TonyJuniper⁩ Interesting contrast to ⁦@Natures_Voice⁩ which says “there is no clear scientific evidence that such mortality is causing bird populations to decline” telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/05/0…

.@MidletonTidy today. Some more pics.

Great weather for @MidletonTidy's outing this morning and much to be done. A committed & hard-working core group of volunteers with more joining us all the time. It was satisfying to able to separate quite a volume of cans for the Deposit Return machines.

Thirsty morning’s work with ⁦@MidletonTidy⁩ 🥵 WAY too much rubbish in #Midleton but coffee generously provided by Riversdale ⁦@MACEIreland⁩ saved the day! ☕️ 🤩 ⁦@CorkGreens⁩ ⁦@greenparty_ie⁩ 💚

Important to have Midleton looking its best for the St. Patrick's Day parade today. @MidletonTidy were out in force this morning. Aside from the odd nest of cigarette butts & cluster of fruit peelings, the town centre was in good condition. Looking forward to the parade later!

Great to be out again with @MidletonTidy. We tackled some of the walkways near Ballyannan woods. Aside from the festering troves of dog-poo bags, an uplifting morning of community spirit!

Great to meet @ClodaghMidleton with @MidletonTidy again today & to discuss common goals for East Cork.
