Eagerly awaiting the results from the National Tidy Towns judges, the committee of hardworking enthusiasts was not disappointed.
The results announced last Friday showed a significant improvement, and Multyfarnham scoring 341 points for 2023, up from 330 in 2022. There were incremental gains in each of the eight judged areas, including community involvement, streetscape, green spaces/landscaping, nature and biodiversity, sustainability, litter control, residential streets, and the care of approach roads, streets, and lanes.
Gaine Park also received a welcome facelift, including improvements to the play area, the addition of wheelchair-accessible picnic tables, and circular seating around An Chiuin Pavilion. The Multyfarnham Community Centre directors secured funding for the enhancements, and BMB Active are appreciative of their work.
