ENNISKILLEN has cleaned up at this year’s ‘Ireland’s Best Kept Town’ competition, taking home the ‘Best Kept Large Town’ accolade.
The results were announced at an awards ceremony in Farmleigh House, Dublin on June 20.
Speaking about the award, Chairman of Fermanagh and Omagh District Council, Councillor Stephen McCann, commended all those involved in keeping the towns and villages of the district clean and tidy.
“Enniskillen winning the all-Ireland Best Kept title for a seventh time is a tremendous achievement.
“This title is testament to the hard work, dedication and partnership working between the Council, residents, businesses and partner agencies and I congratulate all involved.”
This award recognises the endeavours of the Council’s staff from the Street Scenes, Maintenance, Grounds and Horticulture teams who work tirelessly throughout the year to maintain a high standard of cleanliness and tidiness across the district.
The all-Ireland competition, a joint initiative between the Northern Ireland Amenity Council and the Department of the Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs, recognises villages, towns and urban areas for their cleanliness and presentation.
This is the seventh time for Enniskillen to scoop an all-Ireland Best Kept title, firmly establishing it as one of Ireland’s most attractive towns.
