Another great year for Ballymun Tidy Towns in the National Tidy Towns competition
We raised our overall points total for the forth year in a row and also scooped a Notice Nature Biodiversity Award for the Dublin Region. Ballymun was also the category G winner for Dublin City (Tidiest Large Urban Centre, Category G = 15,001 - 25,000).
The Ballymun Tidy Towns committee was founded in 2006 and consists of representatives from the Ballymun Neighbourhood Council (BNC), Ballymun Regeneration Limited (BRL), Dublin City Council (DCC), Global Action Plan (GAP), Poppintree Environmental, Ballymun Regional Youth Resource (BRYR), IKEA, SuperValu Ballymun, Ballymun Shopping Centre Management, Local Councillors, Local Church and other community representatives.
The Tidy Towns is not purely a ‘neat and tidy’ competition. It also incorporates wider reaching objectives including overall community approach in various activities such as neighbourhood clean ups, promotion of healthy living (eg. Sli na Slainte’s), encouragement of nature, Green schools, recycling, Smarter Travel, Climate Chanage initiatives and much much more.
The Ballymun Tidy Towns Committee would like to invite people throughout the community to get involved with Tidy Towns initiatives in the area.
