Lourda Gets Ocean Hero Nod

Lourda takes more names and addresses…

s with the mighty Greystones Tidy Towns, the local Clean Coasts gang are out there making our town a cleaner, sweeter and ultimately sexier place to live.

Volunteering to pick up after others takes a certain kind of character, and it’s this very strength that has seen Greystones’ Clean Coasts ringleader Cllr Lourda Scott being nominated for an Ocean Hero Award today.

“I am absolutely delighted to be nominated for this award,” young Scott told the Guide this evening. “The real heroes, however, are the dedicated individuals and families who join our group every month to litter pick.

“Their efforts help to keep the beauty of our coastlines and protect marine life. I am passionate about doing whatever I can to on a practical level to mind our sea and it’s brilliant to see how a group like Clean Coasts North Wicklow can bring people together who want to do the same.”

Darn tootin’. And should you want to get involved, that monthly meeting will next be held this coming Sunday, November 26th, 10am, at the Rise car park.
