'Dramatic slip' in Tidy Town performance

Clearing litter in 2013.

Kilcullen has 'slipped dramatically' in the National Tidy Towns Competition over the last decade, writes Brian Byrne.

The comment was made by Noel Clare at the recent meeting of Kilcullen Community Action, where the Adjudication Report from the 2014 Competition was discussed.

He noted that Kilcullen had been third in its category in the county about 10 years ago, but was now 16th.

KCA chairman Niall McDonnell said there was no reason why Kilcullen couldn't go back up in the ratings, as it is 'potentially the nicest town in the county'.

He suggested that KCA should organise a meeting dedicated specifically to Tidy Towns.
