Not always you can bump into local heroes, Tom Farrell is such a man. Tidy Towns locally do a great job, they have a large group of volunteers that never look for any credit, just out of civic duty to local place. Tom on many walks was left feeling very frustrated at the amount of rubbish been thrown without thought around bypass as far as red cow and top of Ballinalee road in Longford Town. He took it upon himself to pick rubbish up on his walks, brings it home to dump it rightly. His wife said he should join the Tidy Towns, to which he did, thanks to Tom and all local heroes that do this in their own time.
