Leixlip Tidy Town Association would like to wish all its members and friends a happy Christmas season. We would like to thank everyone for all the hard work they have done over the last year. We feel that Leixlip has made great progress this year and the town looked fabulous during the height of the growing season this summer. We take the opportunity during the winter months to review and plan for the year ahead. We hope to see you all in the New Year brimming full of energy!

We always need helpers so we recommend that 1-2 hours per month is an excellent New Years resolution, and we can provide a variety of jobs to suit all interests. Considering how money is scarce we believe that a donation of a few hours of labour is more valuable. This contribution is so much more useful because of the willingness to help that motivates it.

If you are able to spare a few hours please click on our Contact link and send us a message. We can include your Mobile number on our Text Alert scheme to keep you up-to-date with our plans.

To compliment the new structure Mr Jody Price, of Mill Lane, proposed a significant landscaping project in the open area in front of the building. After discussions with the Gardai and with the assistance of the town council he set to work. The result has been a stunning display of flower planters and beds. He entered this project into the Leixlip Town Council Adopt-an-Area competition, and won in his category and donated his winnings to LTTA.

We would like to commend Jody's commitment to our town and thank him for all the hours of hard work he has volunteered to our association.
