Thumbs up from Wexford Walking Tours!

Wexford Walking Tours posted this message on Facebook yesterday. We think it’s worth sharing:

“Yesterday we had a Viking tour with children from Gorey. This involves going across Mary’s Lane which looked brilliant yesterday. litter and graffiti-free. It is our favourite lane in Wexford. We finished up with a picnic in Redmond Park. The weather was fine and the park, too, was litter free and looked beautiful. The children were thrilled, we even looked into St Patrick’s Churchyard and it, too, looked great. There is so much good work going on in this town.”

Wexford Town achieves Bronze in National Tidy Towns Competition!

Delighted to let you all know that we were awarded Bronze today in the ‘G’ Category ( Large Town ) in the National Irish Tidy Towns Awards. We also were awarded 1st Prize in the Gum Litter Task Force Award.

A big THANK YOU to all involved, from the organizing Committee to the hard working Volunteer task force to the increasingly caring and aware residents of Wexford, who have shown by their example, and by their encouragement – 2,157 Facebook followers/friends who are always supportive – that we can make Wexford a cleaner and more beautiful place both to live and to visit.

Once again, thank you and congratulations to everyone who played their part!
