Massive thank you to everybody that turned out today to give Dundalk Rd Play Area a clean up following it being set on fire and the toddler swings destroyed over Christmas. This play area is hugely important to the local community. We cleaned up the park and surrounding areas of litter and hope that the […]

There is no excuse for this mindless destructive behaviour, lots of families use this little play area. […]
