Delgany Wins Big At Tidy Towns

A river runs through it…

he Delgany Tidy Towns gang walked away with a gansey load of awards at this year’s annual showdown.

As well as a gong for their project on Water & Communities, the gang got the second-highest score in the C category.

Which bagged them another award.

Over to the gang…

The Water and Communities award was €1,000 for the DTT committee. Delgany also received 313 points in Category C, which was the second highest score in their group and received an additional award.

The committee would like to acknowledge the leadership of Keith Scanlon who has led the work on the Water and Communities projects in the community. Some of these projects have built over time (starting in 2018) and have generated valuable assessments/findings and continue to gain momentum.

The projects have leveraged work on Three Trouts Stream – reviewing river water quality and monitoring biodiversity and have expanded to other nearby river monitoring projects. Over this past year the projects have integrated with a Citizen Science project that investigated the Three Trouts River System and shared findings with the EPA and WCC.

Congratulations to all in the community who continue to support the work of the DTT, and congratulations to the committee itself.

Delgany Tidy Towns would also like to acknowledge support from LAWPro, WCC Water Pollution control team and the DCU Water Institute for expert collaboration and guidance during these projects, and thank them for contributing to the award winning result.
