A quick walk about the town this morning confirms my opinions about the Tidy Towns report: the broken public seating referred to elsewhere in this blog remains, the playground near the Riverside Park Hotel remains covered in graffiti, the dirty unpainted public seating on the Promenade remains (also the metal seating on the Shannon Quay), four lifebelts are missing (+ one that is interfered with and cannot be used), the very attractive graffiti that greets you as you enter the town by the old bridge remains, a former neon advertising at the bottom of Slaney Street - pictured here - has been derelict and dangerous with broken glass ALL SUMMER and is the ideal height for a toddler to put their hand into. The river was too high this morning to see how many trollies belonging to Super Valu (the Tidy Town competition sponsors) were in the river but it is usually 3/4! These are just a few of my pet gripes - if I had the time and energy I'm sure that there are plenty more. Incidentally, the Castle Museum is as likely to reopen in 2010 as Wexford putting a man on the moon!
UPDATE: 16/9/09 - The offending sign pictured here has been removed in the last few days - could it be someone in officialdom reads this blog or is it just a coincidence? I suspect the latter.
According to County Manager, Eddie Breen, quoted in today's Enniscorthy Guardian the Castle Museum is definitely going to reopen next Summer - don't hold your breath!
