Over the last few years Kanturk has taken very big strides in cleaning up its act mainly due to a bunch of people that are out and about keeping the Town clean & tidy. 
Due to this group the Town has never looked better with all parts of the Town getting a spruce up from all the incoming roads to the streets and parks,
But the more you clean up a place the more jobs you spot that need to be done but this all comes at a cost.
Kanturk town is hugely attractive to residents and visitors alike. This is due in large measure to the efforts and time of up to 30 Tidy Towns Volunteers who give of their time throughout the year.
The Tidy Towns Committee also take care of the four parks and many other green spaces within the town. Unfortunately all this costs money for items such as flowers, equipment, repairs to equipment, fuel, insurance, PRSI, etc. 
In the past our committee held church gate collections to defray expenses but due to the pandemic this has not been possible for the past two years.
The Tidy Towns Committee  are fundraising so they  can continue to upkeep our beautiful parks and green spaces.
Also they had unforeseen expenses due to the fact the lawnmower broke down and was very expensive to repair. Everything costs money  
With this in mind we have decided to set up  a GoFund.Me Page which will allow groups, clubs and individuals at home and abroad who appreciate the work that is being done in our town to make a contribution towards the ongoing upkeep of our parks and green spaces. We appreciate that people have found times tough during this pandemic but any donation large or small would be greatly appreciated. 
We have already received tremendous support from our business community and we appreciate that. Thanks to you all for taking the time to read this and hope you are enjoying Kanturk and the effort we have made to keep it tidy. 

A GOFund.me page has been set up to raise money and every contribution would be appreciated.

All About The Christmas Lights In Kanturk

Kanturk Christmas Lights Committee has decided to go ahead & erect as many of the Christmas lights as possible again this year. They feel that it’s important for the businesses of the town and it creates a feel good factor for visitors and the general public who during these difficult times need a moral boost & a bit of festive spirit. The Kanturk lights are all new modern LED’s which are energy efficient & cost little to run over the Christmas period. For those who supply electricity for the lights, our electricians estimate the cost will be no more than €30 per business/household for the whole duration from early December to mid-January. We would like to thank all those businesses & households who agree to put up the lights on their premises & houses as well as supplying the electricity at their own expense.
