Every Tuesday night until mid September, a group of locals meets from 7 pm to help improve the look of the village of Askamore. There are always jobs to be done, from litter-picking to gate painting, general tidying of verges / ditches etc.

The local community garden is based in the garden of the priest’s house and everyone is welcome to come help with planting, sowing, maintenance and many other projects.

There’s always a cuppa afterwards for everyone in the kitchen of the priest’s house and the work is always sociable – work with a bit of craic thrown in.

Everyone is welcome at any time to join in.

LOCATION: Askamore village

The above website allows you to volunteer your services online, or just turn up at the car park or the priest’s house every Tuesday. You won’t be sent away!

Rubbish!

Well done to all of the people around Askamore who’ve been out picking up litter as part of Wexford Couny Council & An Taisce’s Spring Clean event.

Pic of SOME of the 22 bags, 2 tyres and a mattress got in just one section of Donishall on Friday night last.

All bags to be brought to the Priest’s house by tomorrow (Monday) evening for collection by Wexford Co Co.

Spring Clean Askamore 2015

Askamore Community Council members are organising their own areas over the weekend to ensure we have a major spruce-up of our parish

Bags, gloves and pickers are available and your local council members will have them available for you.

The County Council will then collect all litter we gather in our various areas. So all bags need to be left behind the priest’s house before Monday evening next.

After that we will concentrate on the 2K around Askamore as well as getting some of the rubbish dumped around the hill walks. Tuesday evening next (21st) we will start on the 2K clean-up in and around Askamore.

Askamore Area Clean-up Week 15th – 19th

Wexford County Council have granted us an extension to the usual spring clean-up time.

In order to have the area looking at its best for both the Tidy Towns entry 2013, which will be judged sometime in the near future, and for the July 26th opening of Le Chéile Park, people are asked to make a special effort to ensure all road ditches and verges are free of litter and debris. Filled litter bags are to be left in the back of the priest’s house for collection on Monday, July 22nd.

You can help to make your local community look more beautiful. Why not organise a group of people on your road to go out and pick up anything that shouldn’t be there?
Clean-up equipment can be got from Jim Gilbert, Askamore (086 840 6786) or Jim Martin Donishall (086 247 1912)
