Last year Skibbereen Tidy Towns achieved it’s highest ever mark in the national Tidy Towns competition, recording a total mark of 286 points. Our goal for the next couple of years is to get 300 plus points and if we achieve this the town will be recognized with a national award and a bonus cash prize.
This year we are getting increased support from Skibbereen Town Council, local businesses and individual towns people. In order to increase our overall mark for the town we require a significant amount of extra work in the coming few months. We have a number of new ideas and projects planned for the year ahead. One of our ideas this year is a street and estate competition. The Skibbereen Tidy Towns Committee are asking business and private homeowners to make a special effort and put out flowers and keep footpaths clean. Did you know that every 10-cigarette butts loose the town one mark in the Tidy Towns competition? Marks in this competition are very hard to get so we are asking for your support.
Each week we will be advertising our clean up night on Tuesday and Saturday mornings a couple of days beforehand. If you would like to join us please do so we are always looking for new members and please bring a friend!
You can contact any member of the committee with suggestions or queries via email skibbereentidytowns@outlook.com
