ENNIS’ recent jump in the IBAL rankings has been hailed by the Chairperson of Ennis Tidy Towns.
In the findings published earlier this summer, Ennis ranked in fifth spot of the Irish Business Against Litter (IBAL) survey.
No heavily littered sites were reported in the county town. “It would seem that there is great attention to detail in general presentation and cleaning regimes throughout Ennis. Among so many top-ranking sites, a few deserve a special mention e.g. the residential area of The Hawthorns was a template for a Grade A site, while Clare Museum & Surrounds was in very good order. Clearly a careful eye is kept on the closed down / boarded up property along Parnell Street,” the report stated.
Speaking at a meeting of the Ennis MD, Cllr Mary Howard (FG) referenced the report. “We were twelfth last year and fifth this year, a huge amount of work goes on in Ennis on a daily basis”.
She voiced her appreciation for all the persons doing their bit to make the county town a more attractive place. “I think the greatest initiative that has happened in Ireland is the Tidy Towns,” Howard commented.
