Vacant Premises Enhancement Project

Having met with many community groups in Meath, a common complaint has emerged strongly in relation to vacant premises. It is very frustrating for groups and individuals that are actively involved in enhancing the beauty of their town, village, road, street or individual property, when they exist in close proximity to a disused and untidy vacant premises.

Meath County Council has developed this initiative specifically to assist groups who encounter this problem.

The Vacant Premises Enhancement Project aims to reward groups who enhance the visual beauty of a disused site through the use of appropriate means be it art, flowers, colour etc. There is one strict rule in this competition and that is the group must not be the owner of the vacant premises. In addition the judges will only consider the projects of groups who have obtained the consent of the owner of the site for the enhancement work to take place.

Two prizes, €400 and €200 will be available to the winners at the award ceremony in October 2013.

Completed application forms for this competition should be forwarded to the following address: Bernadine Carry or Avril Young Pride of Place Initiatives, Meath County Council, Abbey Mall, Abbey Road, Navan, Co Meath.
