Tidy Towns Local Competition Results 2011
Sligo County Council, through the Community and Enterprise Section, has worked with Tidy Towns Committees, for a number of years providing advice and financial support. Committees throughout the County have taken part in the County Competition which, this year, had four categories with a number of Committees entering the National Tidy Towns Competition.
