About Kinsale Tidy Towns
From April to end of November each year, a dedicated group of volunteers meet usually on Wednesdays and Thursdays depending on work needed to be done. They start at 7.00 p.m. and usually finish at around 9.30 p.m. Their work involves dead-heading flowers, weeding rose-beds and shrub-beds, picking up litter, washing dustbins throughout the town and generally keeping town’s main area in top shape.
They receive excellent support from Kinsale Town Council, Kinsale Harbour Commissioners and Cork County Council with major works such as renewal of paving, street lighting, seating, etc.
The Committe also gets great support from the Chamber of Tourism, Vintners Association, local hotels, restaurants and general businesses in the Kinsale.
Fundraising is used for
- Selected projects, i.e. Bird Sanctuary & stone signs at The Marsh area, near Compass Quay
- Wildlife sign at Scilly bog.
- Scilly wild flower garden near Spaniard pub.
- Planters for trees & flowers
All these projects were recently carried out and add to the overall amenities of Kinsale and environs.
