vanhandoverBlackrock Tidy Towns recently took possession of their new van which was presented to them by local taxi firm Rock Cabs.  The Tidy Towns van is a regular sight around the village, used mainly on litter patrols and driven by personnel from The Fane Community Employment Scheme.  “We are very grateful to Rock Cabs for the new van” said Tidy Towns chairman John Horan. “Our old one was on its last legs, but we didn’t have the finances ourselves to acquire a replacement.  It has become an essential part of our litter management plan for Blackrock and now, thanks to Rock Cabs, we are in a position to continue our work in keeping the village litter free” he said.

Thanks to everyone who turned up for our annual Spring Clean on Saturday the 20th of April. A special thanks to the children and their parents and teachers who came along.  We filled a skip with what was collected, and our beautiful village is much cleaner as a result.  The annual Spring Clean is organised by An Taise and supported by Louth County Council.
