“Cuireann an moltóir seo fáilte roimh (Skibbereen) – (An Sciobairín) páirt a ghlacadh i gComórtas Náisiúnta SuperValu na mBailte Slachtmhara 2019.
Thank you for your application, map and copy of your plan. Skibbereen is a very attractive busy town with a mix of heritage and modern buildings all adding their own charm to the streetscape. Your committee of seven with a number of volunteers are working together to enhance and develop the village with various projects. Meetings are held regularly and there is great interaction with the agencies and the businesses of the town. Without their co-operation through funding and other assistance it would be difficult to carry out a lot of the good work you are doing, which is noticeable in the town. You have a good communication system in place to the wider community through social media and newsletters. The schools and committee work closely together with different environmental projects through organising poster competitions to highlight different awareness events and also events such as clean-ups and tree planting events. You are fortunate to have workers assigned to the town who help with maintenance and projects on a daily basis. The town has been involved in the competition for a good number of years and are pleased with the results they have achieved over the years. It has resulted in a better pride of place in the town with the community and all groups working closely to ensure the town is maintained, making it a better cleaner town for people to live in and visitors to visit.“
