THE chairman of Tullamore Tidy Towns group has appealed for support in maintaining the appearance of the county town as judging commences in the national competition.
Cllr Shane Murray said judging took place in 2024 and 2025 on June 19 and 21 respectively so adjudicators are expected to descend on the town in the coming days.
"The town is now looking superb," said the Tidy Towns chief who extended thanks to the volunteers who take part in work groups on Wednesday evenings and Sunday mornings.
And Cllr Murray appealed for more volunteers to turn out in the lead-up to judging and also for people and business owners to clean their own areas on their own initiative.
Tullamore did not feature in the current judging in the Irish Business Against Litter League (IBAL), the results of which were announced on Monday morning last.
The county town did compete in the January tranche of the litter league and was ranked fifth best overall out of the 40 towns which were judged across the country.
Full details of Tidy Towns activities and meet up times for clean-ups are available on their Facebook page.
