Lee Valley Enterprise Board and Macroom Town Council have created this website to promote all aspects of the town of Macroom and the beautiful Lee Valley in which it lies. Here you will find information about the business and enterprises of the area, the schools and clubs that provide education and recreation for its people and news of the people themselves in the Lee Valley Outlook pages.
We had a good turn out for the Clean up. Approximately 25 people turned up during the course of the morning. Two jeep loads of rubbish were picked up, approximately 50-60 bags plus other debris along the side of the main road.
3 or 4 illegal dumps were discovered during the clean up and it is hoped with the help of Macroom Town Council and Cork County Council to organise to remove this rubbish at a date to be decided. It was very disappointing for the Tidy Towns Committee who work so hard to keep Macroom and district clear of litter to find that people are dumping illegally, especially when we have one of the finest Civic Amenity Sites in the county and the first Amenity site to be erected in Cork County. All efforts will be made at the local Town Council and County Council level to ascertain who these culprits are and to have them prosecuted.
When we have decided the date we will advertise it on this web site and anybody who would be available would be more than welcome to give a hand out in removing this rubbish.
Thanking you in anticipation and thanking all those who turned out on Saturday 28th April for all the good work carried out on the day.
John Lyons
Secretary
Macroom Tidy Towns
