Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council held their annual Tidy Districts awards ceremony on Thursday the 29th of September 2022. The competition offers the Council an opportunity to recognise and reward the efforts made by residents’ associations, estate management groups and tidy town groups to enhance their local environment. In this, the 30th year of the competition, a total of thirty-three prizes were awarded to residents’ associations, estate management and tidy towns groups.

While the competition is primarily an anti-litter and anti-graffiti competition, it has evolved over the years and now considers biodiversity, climate action and community engagement.

Speaking at the awards, An Cathaoirleach Councillor Mary Hanafin said;

Tidy Districts is a vital and successful aspect of the teamwork that exists between the Council and the communities it serves. Resident Associations, Tidy Town, Tidy District and Estate Management groups have shown leadership and innovation in response to a changing climate. Tidy Districts is an opportunity to celebrate and reward the hard work carried out by all and I would like to congratulate all groups who took part in Tidy Districts 2022 and I would encourage groups to enter in 2023
