Tidy Towns results 2024 - what do you think?

Let’s be honest: tidy towns competitions are a little bit like the Oscars for villages and small towns. It's a chance to show off all the hard work that goes into making a place a great place to live and visit.

And just like the Oscars, the Tidy Towns results are always hotly anticipated. This year, the big winner was Westport. A big congratulations to them!

I was particularly impressed by Westport's focus on sustainability. They have a number of initiatives in place to reduce their carbon footprint, such as a community garden, a composting program, and a ban on single-use plastics.

I also loved their focus on community involvement. They have a number of community events throughout the year, such as a farmers' market, a music festival, and a Christmas market.

Congratulations again to Westport! And to all the other towns and villages that participated in the competition. You all make Ireland a more beautiful place to live.
