LISTOWEL Tidy Towns urge all in town to get involved in the local part of the competition this year — which sees top prizes being handed down for the town's best estates, window-box and basket displays, buildings, businesses and much more.
A Gold Medal town under the national competition, organisers say it is vital a good response to the local competition is received to ensure Listowel's retention of its prestigious place.
Thankfully, there has been a marked increase this year in the number of volunteers attending meetings of the Tidy Towns Group and helping out with clean-ups around town.
"However, more helpers are needed to ensure Listowel is looking its very best and we hope for a great response to the local competitions once again in 2010," PRO of the group and town councillor, Jackie Barrett, said.
Application forms, which are available from committee members and at the Listowel Town Council offices in Áras Phádraig, must be completed to enter the competition.
"Listowel's pretty appearance received even more recognition earlier this year with the town coming 13th overall in an all-island Tidy Towns competition so it is vital we retain our distinction. There are so many areas where people can help out, but none more important than in their own homes and businesses so we would ask everyone to ensure their own places are looking beautiful," Cllr Barrett said.
The Tidy Towns also urge owners of business premises in town that may now be vacant to keep them looking attractive.
