Millstreet Tidy Towns is once again organising their Annual Spring Clean. It takes place on Saturday April 12th!
We are delighted to welcome the support of Millstreet Juvenile GAA and will be changing our usual meeting point to the GAA Hall @ 10am.
Refreshments are kindly provided by the Juvenile club in the GAA Hall after the clean up.
As always, pickers, gloves, bags and hi vis will be provided so just bring yourself (and some friends and family )
We love to see the younger generations get involved but please ensure there is an adult accompanying them at all times.

We’re back after a brief Winter Break!

Some necessary maintenance was completed over the Winter months, so we are now gearing up again for a busy Spring and Summer.
We were caught by an early visit for last year’s competition so need to cover more activities earlier this year. We have a few more maintenance ideas on the pipeline and would be grateful if locals can bring any items needing attention to us.

As always, a huge thank you to our volunteers and local students who did some Litter Picking over the last few months, and also those who weeded the Pollinator Park and flower pots and sowed daffodils etc.

While there are some lovely displays of daffodils around, it is noticeable that some new bulbs were destroyed by the combination of snow, ice and heavy rains, particularly those in the smaller flower pots.

The recent hedge cutting (and storm) has exposed a lot of litter that was hidden by the undergrowth on our approach roads, we are organising a dedicated, pick up focusing primarily on
~ Macroom Road
~ Black Shed Lane
~ Liscahane Road

Meeting at The Square, where Pickers, Bags and HiVis Vests will be supplied to those who do not already have them.

New volunteers are always welcome!

We are also thrilled to finally see the completion of the Footpath to Coole Cross, for which we have been campaigning for the most of 10 years, having had to submit many documents and requests, we were finally able to apply for Planning Permission in late 2019, obtaining same in 2021, and now thankfully seeing it done in 2025.

And lastly, an appeal again to mainly pub Smokers to not deliberately throw their butts on our streets, please put them in the Butt bins/ buckets/receptables provided by the publicans. We lose points every year because of butts.

We are delighted to say we received a much better result for our second judging period!

A huge thank you to all businesses and locals that have helped keep town in tip top shape these past few weeks. As always, we’d be nothing without our wonderful volunteers.

We have a weekly clean up every Tuesday @ 7pm, meeting at the Square. please do join if you can.

Big Spring Clean Up!
All are welcome, we have pickers suitable for adults and children, and we’ll provide the bags and gloves.
We hope to target as many areas as possible around town, this is dependent on numbers.
It’s a great excuse to grab some fresh air, meet new people and hopefully some late Spring sunshine.

Your Community Your Voice!

IRD Duhallow CLG and Millstreet Tidy Towns are conducting a survey of the quality of life, sense of place, local amenities and facilities.

The findings will help us to formulate our plans for this community and will feed into the strategy for the region. The survey only takes a brief few minutes and all within the region are encouraged to please complete it.
