Tidy Districts 2025
The Tidy Districts 2025 now open for entries!
Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council is delighted to announce the launch of its Tidy Districts Awards for 2025.
The Tidy Districts programme offers Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council an opportunity to recognise and reward the voluntary efforts of residents’ associations, tidy district and tidy town groups to enhance their local environment. While Tidy Districts began with a focus on anti-litter, its brief has expanded over the years to recognise and encourage the contributions of communities in the areas of biodiversity, community engagement, waste prevention and climate action.
