THE Tidy Towns Committee in Corofin has seen a massive influx of new members over the past 12 months. These new members, along with a core group of experienced locals, have helped guide the village to an impressive 254 points in this year’s competition.
“We have managed to pack about five years’ work into one year so we are very happy. It’s been a great year, a lot of new people have come on board and that has really helped take it to the next level,” said Marie Nealon of the Corofin Tidy Towns Committee.
“We’ve also had a lot of skilled local professionals, stonemasons and wall builders, who gave their time for free to the Tidy Towns which re- ally helped as well.
“It is great to have the competition to focus on. These results will help us get an idea of what we need to work on for future years. They will give us something to build on and something that we can aim to improve on next year and the year after.”
The Corofin Tidy Towns group meets every Tuesday and Wednesday evening in the car park beside the Corofin Hostel from 7pm. Everyone is welcome.
