Transport initiative
A new transport initiative for Malahide is recently being introduced.
You can reduce your reliance on your car, save petrol, car miles, global warming and help to maintain the planet for future generations (this can result in a wonderful feel good factor!)
Following is a circular about a novel idea by a group called Dublin Commute.
I would like to introduce a new innovative business to you - Dublin Commute - www.dublincommute.ie . It focuses on point to point shared taxi rides, park and ride facilities, tunnel sharing, school runs and corporate commute solutions. I hope it is of interest to you and your organisation, which can benefit from time, cost and stress savings while contributing to the environment and corporate social responsibility. Could I please ask you to pass it on to your colleagues, associates and friends who may be keen to reduce the stress of commuting?
Many thanks Regards

Removing Graffiti
Tidy towns would like to encourage residents to remove graffiti as soon as they see it. Acetone is great for removing paint - check out the chemists or DIY shops.
Naturally we also encourage people to remove litter whenever they see it.
Many thanks!

Frank Donaldson expert advice
On Thursday 4th March Frank Donaldson (a Tidy Towns adjudicator) was engaged by Malahide Tidy Towns to review the town and advise the committee. On that evening in the Grand Hotel Mr. Donaldson gave a presentation highlighting strengths, weaknesses and possible projects for development.
Weaknesses included litter, graffitti and wildlife while strengths were our built environment, estates and approch roads.
