Go molann an Chomhairle seo iarrachtaí na n-oibrithe deonacha a thugann faoi ghlantacháin comhshaoil agus phiocóidí bruscair a dhéanamh ar fud fad cheantar Dhoire agus an tSratha Báin agus atá ag teacht go mór ar obair iontach ár bhfoirne glanta agus iad ag déanamh a seacht ndícheall ár ndúiche a choinneáil mar áit bheoga agus shlachtmhar le bheith i do chónaí ann, le bheith ag obair ann nó le bheith ag tabhairt cuairte uirthi.

Iarrann muid ar an Chomhairle comhpháirtíocht níos láidre a chothú leis na grúpaí seo agus tograí breise faoi threoir an chomhairle a thabhairt chuncinn ar nós ‘seachtain ghlanta comhshaoil’ chun aird níos fearr a tharraingt ar chúrsaí timpeallachta agus chun cur le rannpháirteachas pobail sa réimse saoránachta gníomhaí seo.

 That this Council commends the efforts of volunteers who undertake environmental clean-up and litter pick initiatives across the DCSDC area, further complementing the sterling work of our Council cleansing staff in striving to ensure that our district remains a vibrant and attractive place to live, work and visit.

Ask that Council forge stronger partnerships with the groups involved and bring forward additional Council led initiatives such as ‘an environmental clean-up week’ to promote greater awareness of environmental issues as well as more community involvement in this area of active citizenship.
