NEW INN TIDY TOWNS: RESULTS ARE IN.

 

This week, the New Inn community is buzzing with excitement following the announcement of results from the SuperValu Tidy Towns competition. Our dedicated group has achieved an impressive increase of 8 points, marking a significant milestone for our small but committed team. Heartfelt congratulations are extended to everyone who contributed their time and efforts over the years. A special acknowledgment goes to Annerveigh Plants, New Inn for generously providing trees and plants that support local pollinators. We would also like to express our gratitude to Tipperary County Council, John O’Meara GSS, and John Bailey for their invaluable assistance in maintaining the tidiness of our village. As we look ahead, we have several projects planned and will be reaching out for their support throughout the winter months. Additionally, we’d like to recognize Niamh Coffey for her diligent work in compiling this year’s Tidy Towns application, and extend our appreciation to Denis Ryan, who regularly dedicates his time to litter picking along our roads. Together, we continue to foster a cleaner, greener New Inn.
