Roadside Clean-up in the Bruckless, Killaghtee and Dunkineely Area.
We plan to have a Roadside Clean-up on Wednesday 13th April, meeting at DCL at 6:45pm. Councillor Niamh Kennedy will provide litter pickers, high-viz jackets and gloves etc.
Please contact Dunkineely Community Ltd (on 9737678 9:30am -12:30pm or on Facebook) if you would be happy to lend a hand. We plan to start cleaning along the roads between Bruckless and Brenter, and elsewhere, if we have the numbers. Volunteering for an hour or two could really help to make our beautiful area look its very best again.
