Found a set of keys (house keys + a car key fob) on the path near St. Coca's church this morning. Drop me a message to describe them and I'll arrange to hand them back.

Our dog Biscuit went missing yesterday evening near the canal walk behind Kilcock. He's a 3-year-old black Labrador, wearing a red collar with a tag. Very friendly but might be scared. If you spot him please call or text 087 123 4567. We're heartbroken and the kids are devastated.

Kilcock Tidy Towns are organising a litter pick this Saturday 28th June starting at 10am at the Market Square. Bags and gloves provided. All welcome — the more the merrier. Great way to spend an hour and make a real difference to the town. Kids welcome too!

I noticed the morning 115 Dublin Bus service seems to have shifted by about 10 minutes this week — was it just late or has there been a schedule change? Couldn't find anything on the Dublin Bus website. Would appreciate if anyone has info.

Just popped into The Millstone Café that opened last week on Main Street. Really lovely spot — great coffee, homemade scones, and the staff are friendly. Nice to see a new independent business in the town. They're open Mon–Sat 8am–5pm.

Just wanted to say well done to everyone at Kilcock GAA who organised the Feile weekend. The pitch looked immaculate, the catering was excellent and the kids had an amazing time. A huge amount of work goes on behind the scenes and it really shows.
