Litter –  The local Spring Clean took place during the week in the Corduff Raferagh area, making a difference to our local environment.  It was noted by the participant that beverage containers made up the majority of the litter collected, even one person decided to throw their tea out of their vehicle as the spring clean was in progress!  Many Miller bottles, Guinness and Red Bull cans were also collected, narrowing it down to a few serial offenders.  Thank you to all who done their bit for the community to enhance the environment for everyone.
