TYMONVILLE RESIDENT GROUP WIN COMMUNITY AWARD.

THE GROUP, SUPPORTED BY THE ESTATE MANAGEMENT SECTION, RECENTLY COMPLETED AN ENTRY FOR THE CHIQUITA  (BANANA) DREAM GREEN COMPETITION.

RESIDENT GROUPS WERE INVITED TO DESIGN A LANDSCAPE FEATURE TO ENHANCE AN OPEN SPACE IN THEIR IMMEDIATE LOCALITY.

THE TYMONVILLE RESIDENTS GROUP IDENTIFIED AN AREA OF OPEN SPACE FACING THE TYMON NORTH PARK – THE AREA IN QUESTION PROVIDES A FOCAL POINT FOR PEOPLE ENTERING THE ESTATE. AND THEY FELT THIS AREA SHOULD BE ENHANCED TO PROJECT A POSITIVE IMAGE OF THE TYMONVILLE ESTATE.

TYMONVILLE WON THE COMMUNITY SECTION AWARD OF THE COMPETITION – THE PRIZE FOR WHICH IS €4000.  THE COMPETITION REQUIRES THAT THEY ENGAGE THE SERVICES OF A PROFESSIONAL LANDSCAPE GARDENER TO OVERSEE THE PROJECT IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE COUNCIL’S PARKS SUPERVISOR, NEIL HANLON, TYMON NORTH PARK.

IT IS HOPED WORK ON THEIR PROJECT WILL COMMENCE IN ABOUT TWO WEEKS TIME.

IN CONCLUSION, THE PRIZE WILL CERTAINLY ENHANCE THE ESTATE AND IT IS EXPECTED SIMILAR PROJECTS COULD BE UNDERTAKEN THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY, IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE COUNCIL’S ESTATE MANAGEMENT SECTION AND PARKS DEPARTMENT.  WELL DONE TO THE RESIDENTS CONCERNED FOR THEIR CONTINUED EFFORTS TO IMPROVE THEIR ENVIRONMENT
