Many Mallow residents leave the town on a regular basis to go shopping in Blackpool, or the city center. Many more shop from the comfort of their homes via the internet. The belief is that Mallow is expensive and doesn’t have the variety, but those who take the time to challenge this belief are rewarded with a great shopping experience.

There have recently been big changes to the Mallow retail and services infrastructure. The Chamber of Commerce has been completely revamped into a progressive, responsive entity. Local traders have an active organisation which meets regularly. All in all, Mallow businesses are very focused on providing a quality shopping experience. Any local trader has a story or two about regular customers from far away who are regularly drawn back to Mallow because they love to shop here.

Mallow Tidy Towns Committee want to greatly thank everyone for coming out last Saturday to clean up Mallow. A really brilliant joint effort took place between sporting clubs, community groups, residents associations, businesses, politicians, clergy, retired people, volunteers and individuals. Many people came out at the start at 10am and more joined in when they saw what was happening and how easy it is to make a huge difference to Mallows litter problem. Over 60 people took to the streets, lanes, open spaces and approach roads of our town and hand picked over 300 bags of litter, a massive mount of about 5 tonnes of litter for the Town Council to dispose of today Monday. It was an awe inspiring really really brilliant effort from all who turned out and made a town cleaner on a good day.

The people of Mallow really took up the battle against litter last Saturday and proved that when Mallow wants – Mallow can.

Mallow went from being a littered town to a town clean to European norms.

To stay on top of the problem, as a lot of the volunteers on the day suggested, we will be doing this on the last Saturday of every month and hope people can join in whenever they can. We will all work to get Mallow right up there in the best of the litter free towns of Ireland.

Thanks a million to all for the great effort and see you again soon.

From Mallow Tidy Towns.

The Clean Up Mallow Day takes place on Saturday March 27^th. Mallow Tidy Towns asks everyone who can to come along to one of 5 meeting points on Saturday morning at 10am. Bags, bibs and disposable gloves will be ready at these locations to make a good spring clean of Mallow.

A litter survey of Mallow recently completed by An Taisce listed the town as being moderately littered. Looking around our approach roads, kerbs and open spaces we can see how true this is. Neighbouring towns like Fermoy are deemed to be litter free. With a bit of care and attention from everyone, Mallow can be just as good and become Litter Free and be a cleaner better place to live, work and enjoy.

So come out on this Saturday morning, join the effort and make Mallow a cleaner better place. Meeting points, areas to be cleaned and contact details are:

MALLOW CLEAN UP DAY

27^TH MARCH, 2010

Mallow Chamber of Commerce

As part of preparations for this year’s Festival and in co-operation with Mallow Tidy Towns the 27^th March is Clean Up Day.

We are encouraging all businesses to take part.  Local organisations such as Mallow Chamber, Mallow G.A.A. and The Rotary Club will be doing a street clean.

We would ask all Shops and Businesses to make an extra effort to help with the clean up.  Recent I.B.A.L. figures show Mallow at the bottom of the list.  We know we are not a dirty town so lets make an effort to move up the table!

Pat O’Sullivan,

Mallow Chamber President.
