Tidy Towns Laragh
Laragh received 3rd place and €250 in the Main Street, Small Town section at the recent awards ceremony in Council Buildings, Wicklow. Competition was stiff as the interest around the county in keeping public areas clean and attractive is growing. We hope this year to build on the success of 2017’s achievements. The second ‘Welcome to Laragh’ stone has been erected on the approach road from Annamoe and looks very well. Tidy Towns meeting takes place at 8 pm on 1st March in the Brockagh Resource Centre. Everyone is welcome.
