- Organise large skip for POD’s Yard for electrical disposal. E.G. Washing machines, hoovers etc. etc.
Paschal, Paddy & Catherina to coordinate execution of above with ‘Landscaping Team’ & ‘Fix It’ teams with the support of the entire committee. It was noted that every day which passes would be precious from a time perspective to get close out on all of the above pre 31st May.
Full list of ‘fix it’ tasks to be addressed by Private/Business owners to follow. Regina to forward ideation list.
Meeting next Monday 11th at 8pm to follow up and monitor progress.
Kind regards,
Donie.
