TIDY TOWNS

Boherbue received 279 points in the Tidy Towns competition this week. This is an increase of seven points from last year. Boherbue Tidy Towns carried out a lot of work from March to June this year ahead of judging. Since June the group have continued to work on new projects and have also maintained a cleaning and maintenance programme throughout the village.
