Congratulations to the TidyTown Committees in South Dublin County

South Dublin County Council would like to congratulate to all our dedicated TidyTown Groups throughout the County on achieving great results in the SuperValu National TidyTowns competition announced at the Helix in Dublin on Monday 26th September.

The Mayor of South Dublin County Council, Cllr. Guss O’ Connell said “Our TidyTown Committees should be commended on steadily increasing their scores on an annual basis. The competition has been encouraging community involvement for many years, by inspiring a huge amount of community effort in our County. The effort of our volunteers in South Dublin helps to cement community relations and increase civic pride whilst improving our environment. The Community groups and the Council staff collaborate to provide a living environment which is beneficial to all”

This year, South Dublin County Council are proud to have worked in partnership with Lucan, Clondalkin, Newcastle, Griffeen, Woodstown Village, Templeogue, Palmerstown and North Clondalkin Committees who work tirelessly to improve their environments, and take pride in their communities.

Patrick O’ Sullivan from Clondalkin TidyTowns Committee who attended the ceremony added “On behalf of Clondalkin Tidy Towns I wish to thank everyone who helped out, volunteered and supported our cause in creating a cleaner, greener and more caring Clondalkin. In five short years Clondalkin Tidy Towns has achieved a great deal. These achievements would not have been possible without the help and support of a number of local businesses and organisations. The financial support and local expertise from South Dublin County Council has enabled us to get where we are today. We look forward to their continued support in 2017. By pursuing 'our' issues, thanks must also go to our local Public Representatives who have embraced the concept of improving our environment. The Clondalkin Tidy Towns Committee has worked tirelessly over the last 12 months and are delighted that its hard work has been recognised by this year's result. Lastly, image may not be everything but it cannot be ignored"

South Dublin County Council are committed to working in partnership with all our existing committees, and are delighted to announce that we have two new committees Brittas and Ballyboden District Tidy Towns are preparing to enter Tidy Towns 2017.
