Gold standard: Terryglass is once again north Tipperary's tidiest village


Terryglass has once again been crowned the tidiest village in the Nenagh Municipal District in this year’s national Tidy Towns awards.

As well as the north Tipperary award, it also received a gold medal.
Nenagh, Birdhill and Silvermines took bronze medals in their categories.
The work of those involved in Tidy Towns was praised by Nenagh Municipal District Council administrator Rosemary Joyce at this Thursday's local area meeting.
