There is a great buzz in West Cork as Community Groups and Tidy Towns Groups look forward to the Pride in our Community Awards on Wednesday October 27th. During the summer, despite restrictions, volunteers have been busy working on their projects and ensuring their towns and villages looked great. The Pride in Our Community awards are organised by Cork County Muintir na Tire in Conjunction with Cork County Council Environment Directorate.
Below are some of the projects entered.
