KILLORGLIN TIDY TOWNS is getting ready for next year’s Tidy Towns competition with the first registered 2018 vehicle! The new Cairt Uisce is specially designed to help water all the various planters around town. Killorglin Tidy Towns has gained a massive 30 points in the national competition in the past 3 years breaking through the magic 300 point barrier and is now just two per cent away from gaining a medal in the national competition. This is primarily down to the hard work and effort of all the community volunteers and the businesses in the town. A quick look at the figures gives an idea of the work carried out throughout the year: Volunteer hours 7,200; Bags of rubbish picked & collected since January 1,105; Volume of water used to water flowers 50,000 litres; Number of summer bedding flowers planted 2,100; Spring bulbs planted 10,000. Pictured are Mary McGillycuddy, Trudi O’ Sullivan, James Daly, Sam and Chris Zerillo, Brendan Foley and Orna Moriarty Eccles in Killorglin on Saturday.
