Representatives from Ballindaggin, Bree, Bunclody, Enniscorthy, Ferns, Marshalstown and Kiltealy were special guests and presented with ‘ goody bag’ packs at the Tidy Towns Appreciation Evening held in Enniscorthy Castle last evening.
Speaking at the event, Cllr John O’Rourke, Cathaoirleach Enniscorthy Municipal District Council called for “a zero-tolerance approach to be put in place to stop those that are out doing the litter louting on a regular basis.”
The principal speaker was Christy Boylan, Jury Chair for Entente Floral Europe and adjudicator at the National Tidy Towns competition who offered valuable tips on many aspects of planting and arrangements and signage that assist improvement on the approach to towns and villages. Many of the examples used were scenes from Co. Wexford.
There was also a presentation on biodiversity, sustainability and guidelines and information useful to tidy town’s groups presented by Frank Burke, Climate Action Co-ordinator at Wexford County Council.
Claire Lawless, District Manager, welcomed everybody and acted as master of ceremonies for the pleasant event hosted by Enniscorthy Municipal District and she thanked Enniscorthy Castle for the facilities. Music was provided by talented Úna May Walsh playing the harp.
