Three volunteers travelled to Croke Park on Friday 24th October for the annual SupereValu TidyTown Awards. This year we were delighted to win a gold medal with a score of 393, an increase of 13 marks from last year when nwe were awarded a silver medal. Congratulations to the overall winner, Carrick-on-Shannon with a score of 400.
Huge credit to Joe Murphy and his CE team, to the dedicated Tuesday Tidyups team, to St.Michael’s National School who participated so enthusiastically in our litter picks, and to all the businesses and home owners who keep their premises so well.
In the Special Awards, we were thrilled to win a Bat Conservation Ireland Gardening for Bats Design Space Award. Thanks to Katy Steele’s brilliant design for the Wild Garden, we now have the funding to further transform this wildliife garden for the benefit of bats.
