MMRA Monthly Litter Clean-up
Mount Merrion Monthly Clean Up takes place on the first Tuesday of the month. Meet outside the Community Centre at 10.30am, bags, pickers and gloves will be provided.
We clean up an area of our own choice for about 1.5 hours and adjourn for a complimentary coffee afterwards. A great way to be outdoors, doing something useful for the Community and meeting new friends! Together, we can keep Mount Merrion beautiful.
The Planters planted up by MMRA Volunteers and local residents at Supervalu on The Rise, on the Green space outside the shops at Upper Trees Road, at Glenabbey Road, at the back Church Car Park and at Sycamore Road/Trees Road Lower are continuing to thrive, adding colour to our beautiful Estate. Local volunteer waterers are keeping them well watered, many thanks.
Likewise, the many new trees kindly planted by DLR on the roads in Mount Merrion and in Deerpark need at least a bucket of water every two days in this their first growing season. If you are fortunate enough to have one near you, please look after it.
