Shannonbridge Tidy Town report continues with Tidiness marks maximum 20 and we got 15. Their remarks : Your problems here relate to dereliction,unoccupied buildings,and uncared for open spaces. The site opposite Nugents is poor and needs attention. We note with interest the major development of new Power Station which is now dominant. We look forward to its completion of this development which will also afford you opportunity for added impetus in your own endeavours, from new residents.
Residential Areas maximum mark is 30. We got 25 marks. Their comments: The standard and presentation of residential areas are very good. The individual effort here is commendable and most householders are cooperating with you in your efforts.
Roads, Streets and Back Areas: Maximum mark available 40. We got 28 marks. Comments: The road structure is good in all areas and the grass cutting on the Galway side is good. Back areas need attention as they now form part of core activity. Because of the river traffic movement many back areas are quite visible and owners should be conscious of this, especially in the prominent areas.
General Impression caries 10 marks maximum. We got 7 marks. Their comments: Another good performance for Shannonbridge. You continue to progress and we compliment you on your consistency over the years. The Tourism Office looked neglected and closed:best to remove the sign. We urge you once again to formulate a plan and phase your efforts over three years. We suggest you contact the Offaly Co.Council and other relevant agencies and immpress upon them the importance of assisting you. End of report.
