Tidy Towns Ballingarry has issued an urgent appeal saying: "Unfortunately we NEED YOUR HELP!"

"The judges are on the way!" they say and there are a litany of issues in the area.

They include:

Cigarette butts outside some premises

Weeds outside some houses

Litter on streets

Debris on footpaths

The committee added: "We have a small group of volunteers, who are doing trojan work. They are litter picking, weeding, planting, watering flowers, painting.

"WE NEED YOU TO PLAY YOUR PART & KEEP BALLINGARRY VILLAGE LOOKING TIDY & PRESENTABLE FOR JUDGES!

"Thanks to those who have put out window boxes and hanging baskets and power-washed or painted or helped in anyway."
