http://www.loughreatidytowns.com Loughrea Tidy Towns ~ working together to enhance the appears of Loughrea. We all have our part to play. Let's improve Loughrea!

The National Tidy Towns Competition helps focus our activities, but also provides a platform to attract greater interest from the community. Getting the community involved and volunteering their time to improve the town of Loughrea is key. To enhance Loughrea we need everyone to pull together, working with Galway County Council, Loughrea Town Council, Loughrea Chamber of Commerce, Businesses, Schools, Churches, Clubs and Societies and the residents of Loughrea. The National Tidy Towns Competition is an annual competition organised by the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government. Adjudication takes place during the months of June, July and August and winners in the various categories announced at a national ceremony in September each year. Each entrant is assessed under ten criteria with a total of 400 marks available as follows:

• Overall development approach (50 marks)
• The Built Environment (50 marks)
• Landscaping (50 marks)
• Wildlife and natural amenities (50 marks)
• Litter control (50 marks)
• Tidiness (30 marks)
• Waste minimisation (20 marks)
• Residential areas (40 marks)
