Another Strong Result For TTs

 It's another strong year for Hollyfort Village in the Supervalu Tidy Towns Competition as we were awarded 321 points, up from 310 last year.

The adjudicator's report was uplifting with comments like . . .

What a great idea to do a series on on Hollyfort's heritage buildings

Cooney's facade with the tiled or faience maolica front is lovely to see retained

The project to ensure easy access to the Honey Orchard was quite the undertaking, however the results     are impressive

There are some lovely planting schemes throughout, with colour, textures & depth

The inclusion of the Mt Nebo trail in the National Trails Ireland 2024 is quite the accolade, especially as it was one of  only five added.

Thank you to everyone for their help and support!
