Moville gets in top shape for Tidy Towns judges 24.06.08

MOVILLE Tidy Towns committee and volunteers were hard at it again at the weekend getting the town into top shape for this year's national competition.
Committee member, Cllr Marian McDonald said Moville had a great chance of increasing its points tally this year as it had been chosen as the Inishowen town to benefit from the cross-border Heritage Environment Art Rural and Tourism (HEART) environmental project.
As part of the HEART project, the Foyleside town has taken delivery of stunning new flower planters placed around the town centre including The Square. Vintage-style summer seats in heritage blue wrought iron have also been installed in the town centre

Fifteen hand-carved granite stone seats, by Yorkshire artist Michael Disley, will also grace Moville's seafront from August as part of the HEART trail.

Big clean ups take place in the town every other Saturday and the Tidy Towns committee are looking for volunteers to help paint the summer seats and other outdoor amenities.
Meanwhile, the local councillor called on residents of the town's housing estates to spruce up their homes in time for the Donegal County Council tidiest estates competition. "Judging will take place in July and August.
If everyone looks after their property, we could have all estates winners this year." For more photos of getting Moville in shape click here.
