Tidy Towns Results 2019

Another good year for Hollyfort  with a further 8 points awarded by the Tidy Towns adjudicators who said:

'The number of different events that the Tidy Towns Group has been involved in over the past year under this category is quite amazing. These events are too numerous to mention but it must be said that the efforts made and work put into the Philip Casey Memorial Service was particularly commendable. It is heartening to learn that your involvement with the Tidy Towns Competition over the last number of years has been very beneficial for Hollyfort and is providing a renewed sense of belonging and unity amongst the local community, both within the village and in surrounding areas and people are now proud to say they live in Hollyfort.' 

A big thank-you to all those who supported the local Tidy Towns committee - we could not have done it without you!
