TAKES HOME GOLD IN 2019 NATIONAL TIDY TOWNS AWARDS
|
| Over
the 60 years of National Tidy Towns Awards, this year saw
a record number of 918 entries. Earlier today, representatives
from all over Ireland arrived at Dublin’s Helix Theatre
to hear the results. Minister Michael Ring and RTE Presenters
Mary Kennedy and Ann Cassin joined the SuperValu sponsor’s
Martin Kelleher to hear who had come out on top. It was standing
room only with full coverage by RTE to be aired later.
|
| THE
GREAT NEWS IS THAT DALKEY CAME IN THE TOP 6% OF ALL 918 ENTRIES
AND WON THE GOLD MEDAL IN THE CATEGORY FOR POPULATIONS OF
BETWEEN 5,001 AND 10,000.
|
| Dalkey
also won a Highly Commended Award in the County Awards –
another prized category. |

Big congratulations to our Dalkey Tidy Towns team
who worked tirelessly throughout the year to keep us up there
with the best of the best. Thank you also to DLRCC, our Shop
Keepers, Business Owners and Neighbours, who all did their bit
to achieve this major recognition. Present at the Helix Theatre
to hear the good news were Dalkey Tidy Towns members Des , Frank,
Fiona & Michael. Tonight, the Dalkey Tidy Towns team will
all meet to celebrate in our Town – and tomorrow morning,
they will be back in Dillon’s Park to continue their work
to make even more improvements for the 2020 Awards ! |
GRAFFITI
TAGS REMOVED 2014 to 2020
GRAFFITI
REMOVAL
The
scourge of Graffiti vandalism is a costly one and
blights surroundings and especially in Heritage
Towns. Cities in Europe typically spend over €30
million each year in removal costs. Established
in 2014, DTT set up a team of three Volunteers to
specialize in identification, quick removal and
reporting to the Gardai. At the peak seven years
ago, and 1502 tags in that year. In 2020, quick
action resulted in a removal total of 152 tags.
Between
2014 and 2020, DTT removed 3,632 Graffiti tags.
Removal contractors charge €120 per call-out
visit in Dublin. Assuming each Tag warranted a call-out,
excluding time on site and other charges, DTT have
saved the community a total of €436,000 in
this period !
