Mayo Tidy Towns group launch their first website

CASTLEBAR Tidy Towns has taken the next step on its digital journey with the launch of its first website - www.castlebartidytowns.ie.

The launch was officially performed on the Mall by Alan Dillon, Minister of State for Small Business, Retail and the Circular Economy, joined by Castlebar Tidy Towns chairperson Councillor Ger Deere.

The website is designed to be a central home for everything Tidy Towns in Castlebar.

It will feature the following:

Updates on projects and events.

Showcase the great work of volunteers and opportunities to get involved.

Highlight the history and heritage of the town.

Provide useful tips and links on sustainability and the circular economy.

Feature a dedicated anti-litter section with advice on how we can all reduce waste and protect our environment.

The site will also carry the latest news via links to the group's Facebook and Instagram pages, contact details for the committee, a photo gallery of projects and events, and a section celebrating its awards and the many contributions of volunteers and supporters.

Speaking at the launch, Minister Dillon said: "I’m delighted to launch Castlebar Tidy Towns’ new website. Tidy Towns is an incredible initiative, and right across the country volunteers give their time not only to keep towns clean, but also to raise awareness about the environment and the importance of protecting it.

“Well done to all involved, in particular outgoing chairperson Alan Mee, current chairperson Councillor Ger Deere, and the committee members. Here’s to future successes."

Councillor Deere, Castlebar Tidy Towns chairperson, added: "We are delighted to launch our very first website, which we believe will be both a focal point and a valuable reference for volunteers, the public, and the National Tidy Towns adjudicators when they visit Castlebar.

“This has been an exciting project for us, and I would encourage all residents’ groups, schools, and organisations to link in where they will find great ideas for projects and useful information.

“I would also like to sincerely thank Minister Alan Dillon for taking the time to launch the website, and to acknowledge Michael Baynes, whose design and layout work has been outstanding, as well as our entire Tidy Towns committee for their efforts in bringing this to life."

Castlebar Tidy Towns is proud to launch this new resource for our community and invites everyone to visit castlebartidytowns.ie and join them on their journey to keep Castlebar clean, green, and vibrant.
