Malin Head Residents Laura McLoughlin, Madeleine Lafferty, Jackie McKinley, Daniel Henderson.

In that time, we have seen the power of local first-hand. We have witnessed the lasting bonds of friendship and trust built in communities across Ireland, as they put their shoulder to the wheel in the push for a TidyTowns Award. We are proud that so many of our 221 retailers play an active role in their local TidyTowns effort. This can take the form of sponsorship, serving on a committee or organising manpower and womanpower for key projects. If you are serving on a TidyTowns committee, don’t hesitate to contact your local retailer. They would be only too happy to host an information day in-store to help you recruit more members. Don’t forget that shopping in a locally owned store such as SuperValu means that three times more money goes back into your local economy. It all adds up as you strive to make the most of life for you, your family and the local community. rating eb el
