"Winning TidyTowns has morphed from hanging baskets, litter picking and a lick of paint to a full of ecological and environmental bare-knuckle brawl."
"And Westport - Ireland's most consistent Tidiest Town winner - is fighting fit for this year's competition."
Local efforts have shifted from simple beautification tasks—hanging baskets, litter picking and fresh paint—toward comprehensive ecological and environmental work that demands technical knowledge and long-term planning. Communities now address circular economy principles, biodiversity restoration, habitat creation, sustainable waste management and resource reuse. Engagement requires coordinated volunteer programs, partnerships with local authorities, and measurable environmental outcomes. Competitive standards have increased, rewarding evidence-based projects and resilience-building initiatives. Westport has maintained consistent success in the TidyTowns awards and has developed capacity, skills and infrastructure that position it strongly for the current competition season.
