Blackpool Tidy Village Group are overall Cork City winners at the Pride in our
Community Awards 2026
Blackpool Tidy Village Group were overall winners of the Pride of Cork City Award
at the Annual Muintir na Tire Pride in our Community Awards held in the
Kingsley Hotel last night. Their project involved many improvements including flower
planters at Máire MacSwiney Bridge/N20 Flyover, Thomas Davis Street and replenishing the soil of several disused
raised bedding sections under the flyover with a mix of Irish, seasonal
perennial plants, flowers and shrubs creating a “biodiversity corridor” in an
otherwise dead space. They were highly praised by the judges for their efforts.
Deputy Lord Mayor of Cork Cllr. Gary O
Brien congratulated them and praised them for their efforts on behalf of their
community.
