Tidy Towns
Training and Support Programme for Tidy Towns groups in Laois (2019/2020)
Laois Partnership Co has secured funding to deliver a tailored programme of training and supports for Tidy Towns groups in Laois. The programme will be delivered in late 2019/ early 2020 during the “tidy towns off season” when members will have some time to commit to planning.
Programme Deliverables:
- Opening group seminar (in Portlaoise) led Tidy Towns adjudicator
- 3 x information sessions (In Portlaoise) covering issues relevant to TT groups (These will be led by a Tidy Towns Adjudicator and an Environmental specialist)
- 2 x site visits to your community to do a “walkaround” and to discuss issues in your area
- Clinic session to assist group to refine tidy towns application before submission date in 2020
Additional Resources Provided:
Each participating group will receive:
- A comprehensive 5-year plan which will be developed in conjunction with the TT adjudicator/ environmental specialist
- A Tidy Towns map in hard copy and digital copy (This can be annotated and submitted with your application each year. )
Cost:
The initiative will be heavily subsidised with participating tidy towns groups required to make a nominal payment to secure a place on the programme.
What next:
In order to progress the project, we need to get confirmation as to who will be participating in the initiative. We will hold a short public meeting in Portlaoise to explain further and to identify common requirements of tidy towns groups. This meeting will be held in on Tue 3rd September at 08:00pm in the LOETB Centre of Excellence (Laois GAA) at O’Moore Park, Portlaoise.
