STROKESTOWN 2022 ENTRY
Hello from Strokestown Tidy Towns committee.
As a brand-new committee we are excited to be submitting our first Tidy Towns Application and look forward to receiving you on site. The current Tidy Towns committee was only fully formed in March 2022. However, community support for Tidy Towns Ireland from consecutive Strokestown committees and unsung volunteers has been in place for approximately 40 years. As with all communities the impact of the pandemic on individuals, families and businesses must not be understated. Hopefully, at the time of submission of our application, the effect of restrictions is lessening, and we all look to a positive ‘bounce-back’ across Strokestown and Ireland as a whole. Our 2022 application is designed to build on the fantastic work undertaken by friends over the mentioned period and expand this to meet the needs of a modern Strokestown. We are conscious of ensuring that we set targets to deliver measurable and achievable outcomes and consider that all designated future objectives are realistic, feasible and have a positive impact across our town. As a new committee we are, nevertheless, conscious that this, our first application to Tidy Towns Ireland, only brushes (strokes?) the surface of the work we wish to undertake and the potential we know that exists across the Strokestown community to work together to the betterment of all living, working and visiting our wonderful Heritage town. We recognise that our application is likely not to meet the full requirements of an experienced Adjudication Panel. We are, however, keen to learn from this judging process and will be appreciative of all guidance, tips and information. Please note that that all progress intentions are based in the current belief that Strokestown will be bypassed. This has recently been delayed and we are concerned that this has the potential of negatively impacting on the successful completion of key improvements. Thank you for taking the time to visit us in Strokestown. CHAIR: Jonathan Cassidy SECRETARY: Martina O’Connor TREASURER: Mark Chilvers |
