Initiative launched in Wexford to protect public walkways
The initiative will create a vibrant "clean and greener mile" from Railway Square to Drumgoold, encouraging residents to reclaim and enjoy public walkways, laneways, and green areas. The theme of the Shannon Way Project is 'clean streets are safer streets.'
The Shannon Way initiative has been made possible through generous funding from the Department of Justice's Community Safety Initiative Fund.
The project is being led by the Enniscorthy Community Alliance (ECA), with strong support from partners including Enniscorthy Municipal District, Wexford County Council, Enniscorthy East Community Development Group and Enniscorthy Tidy Towns volunteers. ECA will also engage with the schools to participate in the project during the next school term.
The launch will take place outdoors on the green space at Armstong Range, starting at 7pm on Wednesday, July 16 with refreshments at Templeshannon Community Centre from 7.30 p.m.
Enniscorthy Community Alliance is a not for profit organisation that operates a number of projects and programmes to support the enhancement of the Enniscorthy area.
They collaborate with other local groups to support and advocate for continuous improvements in the town and look for new and innovative ways to bring about positive change.
ECA also recently took over ownership of the Captain Weafer Hall with the intention to transform it into a sustainable community hub.
