Speaking at the Awards ceremony, An Cathaoirleach, Councillor Tom Murphy said “Estates and town groups all over dlr have once again been very active this year and it is inspiring to see so many people getting involved and helping to transform their local communities into places which we would all like to live in. Their success has been recognised this week locally and nationally. It is a testament to the community spirt in our area, and I commend everybody involved.”
Event organiser Dean Eaton, Environmental Awareness Officer for Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council said “The Tidy Districts Competition gives us the opportunity to formally recognise and reward the hard working residents’ associations and tidy towns groups in our County who take responsibility for, and take an active interest in, their own local environments. Nature initiatives continue to dominate local improvements with many estates adopting pollinator friendly planting and maintenance programmes.”
