The SuperValu TidyTowns competition 

brings out the best in communities 

and people across the length and 

breadth of the country. Each year 

thousands of committed volunteers 

get involved to make their community 

a better place to live. 

SuPErVALu TidyTOwNS HErOES 

In 2012 we launched the SuperValu 

TidyTowns competition by asking for 

30,000 volunteers to get their hands dirty. 

We also asked you to nominate your 

local SuperValu TidyTowns Hero. We were 

looking for your help to recognise the hard 

work, dedication and commitment of those 

individuals who are the backbone of your


community and this great competition. 

Without the dedication of these individuals 

this competition could not survive and 

grow in strength year after year. 

We received hundreds of entries to this 

section of the competition. In 2012 we 

will recognise the first thirteen of these 

SuperValu TidyTowns Heroes, but would 

like to acknowledge and thank the 

30,000 volunteers who make this great 

competition what it is and who continue to 

build vibrant local communities.

wiNNEr’S rEPOrT 

Abbeyshrule, Co. Longford 

Overall development Approach: 

Your adjudicator is pleased to welcome Abbeyshrule 

Tidy Villages to the SuperValu National TidyTowns 

Competition 2012. Thank you for your entry form 

and accompanying appendices. Your submission is 

comprehensive and straight off tells the adjudicator of 

your commitment to doing well in this competition. 

You have maintained a detailed record of your work 

since your last adjudication and the list of projects 

completed is comprehensive. The size of your 

committee, 26 members, is very impressive and 

it is encouraging to read that you enjoy excellent 

voluntary cooperation from the wider community. 

Indeed this was evident during our adjudication visit. 

We like that you identify the skills and expertise of 

your volunteers each year and assign tasks accordingly 

and we were interested to read the various skills that 

your committee and volunteers have identified and 

honed. You are accomplished at collaborating and 

working with various organisations/agencies, both 

locally and nationally, and this has been demonstrated 

by your ability to source funding and support for your 

work programmes. You are very active all year round 

and recognise the huge level of action required in 

each category to compete at such a high level in the 

competition. You are very organised and competent 

at communicating with the local community and 

you do so by a large variety of mediums. We visited 

your website which is very informative and up-todate 

and particularly liked your tagline ‘Creating a 

Sustainable Village Community.’ As a first time visitor 

to Abbeyshrule the commitment you show to the 

presentation of your village is evident at every turn. 

This adjudicator feels that you have drawn on the great 

ethos of voluntary endeavour for this competition 

and the widespread community spirit and used it 

as a platform to initiate real change at a local level. 

We are very impressed. To progress that extra bit 

have you considered establishing a Junior TidyTowns 

Committee? 

The Built Environment: 

This year you have had the majority of your existing 

timber lighting poles replaced by decorative black 

lighting standards complete with energy efficient 

bulbs, which further enhance the village core. The 

roof of the Waterways building has been repaired 

and we noted that you had enhanced three windows 

of the old furniture factory with old reproduction 

photographs relevant to the area. The adjudicator 

thought that the wall at the village pump would benefit 

from painting but surprisingly when we were finishing 

up our adjudication visit, three people were setting 

up to begin painting here! You have painted the 

uninhabited house at the aqueduct with the assistance 

of Waterways Ireland. Roney’s Inn was being painted 

during our visit; the new colour choice tones in well 

with the surrounding buildings in this vicinity and 

enhances the appearance of the property immensely. 

As always, the Rustic Inn was well presented. We 

noted that a small section near the corner at Scally’s 

Bridge was in need of repair. We like your plans for 

an integrated playground at the canal harbour and 

are pleased that you have begun working on the 

accessibility issue to the Abbey. 

Landscaping: 

In general terms the landscaping is to a very high 

standard throughout and it is no surprise to learn 

that you are also participating in the Entente Florale 

Competition this year. The adjudicator was very 

impressed with the Whitworth Aqueduct on the Royal 

Canal and the area around here is well landscaped. 

Your tree tagging is quite unusual! We wondered if 

you use this as a management tool and record details 

such as, when your trees were planted, species 

etc. The Green area across from the Rustic Inn is a 

relaxing haven. We noted that work is ongoing beside 

the village pump; a small area was cordoned off 

during our visit. We were unaware as to what is being 

undertaken in this area as this was not mentioned in 

your application.

wildlife and Natural Amenities: 

We note that one of your committee members has 

recently attended a course given by the Irish Wildlife 

Trust on how to care for rivers and streams – how will 

you disseminate this information to the community? 

We know that you have a Biodiversity Action Plan and 

also have the ‘Scott Cawley Biodiversity Study’ but 

you did not include these in your submission. Please 

bear in mind that relevant supporting documents 

should be included each year as the adjudicator 

does not have sight of what you provided the 

previous year. Congratulations on the success of 

your essay competition and we liked how you use 

the community notice board to display the winners 

of your competitions. You have a number of good 

interpretative signs in and around the village. Your 

three walking trails are noted all which incorporate 

walking along the Grand Canal, the River Inny and the 

local peat bogs and your accompanying Abbeyshrule 

Walkways brochure is concise yet informative. We 

admired the ruins of the mill at Clynan Bridge while on 

the ‘Walkway 2’ and were interested to read in your 

‘Wildlife in Abbeyshrule’ brochure that it supports a 

number of bat species. We saw the wildflower seeds 

sown at the wall in the vicinity of the Bring Banks. Pay 

good attention to these to ensure they flourish. 

Litter Control: 

We were surprised to read and then see at first hand 

that you have removed litter bins from the village. 

Your confidence in your litter monitoring and control 

measures is great to have taken this bold move. A 

review of assessing the impact of removing the bins 

would be interesting for next year. On our adjudication 

visit we did not see any signs of litter thus - so far so 

good! The bring banks were well presented and very 

clean. 

Tidiness: 

Thank you for acting upon many, if not all, of the 

comments raised last year. This adjudicator thought 

that your attention to detail this year is to be 

commended. The upgraded works by Airtricty and ESB 

networks in removing overhead cables in the village 

core is more aesthetically pleasing. Weeding at the 

base of walls and along the footpaths is excellent. We 


pondered your comment regarding engaging with the 

local farming community to be user friendly when 

transporting silage, turf and hay through the village and 

approach roads during the harvest season. We would 

be interested to know what you meant by this. This 

adjudicator feels that your ability to retain the sense 

of a traditional countryside village is one of your key 

strengths. 

waste Minimisation: 

You have been extremely busy this year under this 

work category with various worthwhile projects. We 

visited your community composter near the entrance 

to Corncrake Meadow, perhaps re-run a section in your 

Newsletter on the correct things that can go into this 

composter to refresh the minds of those using it as we 

noted quite large cuttings from fir trees which will not 

breakdown well. We also noted from your Newsletter 

that you ran a successful ‘Bring and Take’ reuse event. 

You are to be commended for working with the 

Environmental Awareness Officer in Longford County 

Council in relation to your waste minimisation project 

this year. You successfully enlisted six different families 

to participate in this worthwhile project where advice 

was given specifically in relation to each household on 

waste reduction and energy saving measures. We note 

that the second phase of this project involves further 

energy assessments and that the Environmental 

Awareness Officer will also monitor and report on the 

findings. This really is a truly excellent project which 

addresses the ethos of this category very well. We 

are sure that the project has raised great awareness 

amongst these participating families and hopefully 

they now are beginning to see the financial benefits 

of putting waste reduction measures into action. 

Now that the Environmental Awareness Officer has 

assisted you in getting this project up and running 

with six families could you perhaps be able to initiate 

this again this coming year with a different set of 

families? You may be interested in the Green Home 

Programme which may also assist you. The Green 

Home Programme run by An Taisce was developed 

as a framework to support and encourage all 

householders to reduce their environmental impact, it 

examines waste, electricity water etc.. It is supported 

by the Environmental Protection Agency’s National 

Waste Prevention Programme and can be undertaken 

by an individual householder or a household can be


part of a community. You could contact Green Home, 

www.greenhome.ie, and investigate if Abbeyshrule 

Tidy Villages could participate as a community. Your 

reuse of old teapots as bird nesting pots is innovative 

but we wonder if you have witnessed any birds taking 

up residence in the pots? We noted your poster 

competition ‘Waste not Want not’ in your village 

notice board and also liked that you ran an event in 

conjunction with the Abbeyshrule Craft Fair and the 

St. Sinneach’s National School Parents Association 

where waste materials were reused as craft and play 

resources. This adjudicator particularly likes how you 

are creating fun opportunities to get the local children 

involved in your work programmes and interact with 

their local environment whilst developing positive 

attitudes and approaches to waste management, in 

particular reduction, reuse and recycling. 

residential Areas: 

Housing quality is excellent in Abbeyshrule. All 

individual houses are presented extremely well. 

Corncrake Meadow was admired but we noted the 

partly unfinished section which is boarded up and that 

part of the roadway needs completing. Landscaping 

work was ongoing at Barley Gardens on our visit. There 

are some extremely well maintained individual gardens 

but one really stood out to this adjudicator and we 

note from your appendices that this is George’s 

garden! 

roads, Streets and Back Areas: 

The approach from Colehill is delightful; the 

undergrounding of the cables certainly enhances the 

view towards the village from this direction. A man 

was varnishing the fence on the approach here to 

create a fresh impact on arrival, well done. The new 

footpath from the bridge to the Bog Road was under 

construction on adjudication day. The adjudicator 

enquired with one of the workmen as to when the 

footpath would be completed and was informed it 

would be in a few days time. The adjudicator thought 

that it was a pity that these upgrade works were not 

completed in time for our adjudication visit as this 

may have bolstered your marks in this category. The 

approach from the airfield is faultless. 

General impression: 

This adjudicator had heard a great deal of talk over 

the years about the village of Abbeyshrule and was 

looking forward to the adjudication visit with much 

anticipation. Located between the Royal Canal and the 

River Inny, we are pleased to report that Abbeyshrule 

did not disappoint. On the day we visited, the sun 

was out, flowers were blooming, and the village was 

gleaming. Abbeyshrule Tidy Villages - you have raised 

the bar this year. Grass was being cut at Our Lady of 

Lourdes Church, the fencing on the approach from 

Colehill was being painted, a man was collecting leaves 

at the canal harbour, a householder was painting their 

boundary wall, landscaping works were underway at 

Barley Garden and as already mentioned the village 

pump was receiving a make-over – there was certainly 

a buzz in the air and a real sense of community spirit 

and pride of place. Congratulations and well done to 

all involved this year. 

Second round Adjudication: 

Driving along a pleasant country road I came to a 

point where the grass verge was neatly cut and, as I 

was not here before, I guessed I was in Abbeyshrule. 

This was confirmed after a short distance on reaching 

the bi-lingual sign for the village that was adorned 

with attractive flowers A small notice attached to the 

sign had a message “text alert area”. Next I saw the 

well-kept graveyard enclosed with a great traditional 

stone wall with a view of the ruins of the Cistercian 

Abbey. A good road safety measure at the corner is in 

place where the wall of the graveyard is replaced with 

a splendid railing giving a good view of the road. The 

new footpath looked well and is a welcome feature on 

this busy road. Already I found there was a distinctive 

flavour to the location. 

There is limited commercial development in this 

compact village where the Rustic Inn stands out, at the 

back of which there is a splendid mural that makes 

this part of the canal a most picturesque location. I 

admired another well kept Bar that was freshly painted. 

The bridges display really fine traditional building and 

engineering qualities and it is a testament to those 

great people that worked in the creation of these 

structures that are as strong and sturdy today. It is 

delightful to see these bridges so well maintained and 

23

24 

one portion was expertly repaired in recent times. 

All of these bridges are quite picturesque and the 

aqueduct taking the canal over the river Inney is really 

spectacular. The old furniture store is now a place of 

considerable interest with splendid artistic works on 

both sides and front. It is delightful to see there the 

words of that great song;Take me back to the good old 

days, To the days when I went to school, The times 

were bad but I never was sad, On the roads round 

Abbeyshrule. The really good art work is continued 

with the special painting on the window of the shed 

near the well signposted recycling area. The two 

traditional water pumps are notable historic items 

and the white washed wall at one of them makes 

a big impact. The splendid displays of landscaping 

consistent around the village cover all available ground, 

and long stretches of well manicured open grassed 

spaces, plus unspoiled aesthetics are added to with 

modern public lighting standards. Suitable picnic 

furniture makes outstanding outdoor facilities where 

the seating consists of good quality timber products. 

A high standard is set near the bring bank at both 

sides of the canal with a variety of delightful flowers 

viewed from a wonderfully polished granite seat, and 

this is matched in many other locations, notably in 

George’s “four season’s garden”. I admired the many 

tubs of flowers that adorn the surroundings such as 

at the bring bank, at the church, at the water pumps 


and so on and further colour and freshness is added 

with hanging baskets and window boxes. It is obvious 

that you are rewarded by getting compost from the 

two community composters. The Bog Oak features 

are impressive and remind us of the proximity of local 

bogs. Good quality noticeboards give news of parish 

matters plus local information for visitors, history of 

the corncrake cluster sculpture, wildlife birds and fish, 

details of the Abbey and so on. Other notices remind 

us of bird sanctuary areas. The housing estates are 

well presented and some unfinished work in one is 

left in a responsible manner and we look forward to its 

completion. A two storey white house with a red door 

really stood out in the centre of the village, with some 

other beauties around the area. The Waterways House 

looked well and it would be great if it was occupied. 

Energy and leadership abounds and show what can 

be achieved from an enthusiastic group of people. 

We are reminded of a condition of the competition 

that additional information should be brief and only 

relevant to this year’s competition unless it is part 

of a multi annual plan. I appreciate that you have 

put in a huge effort in putting together your entry, 

but you could cut back on some of the additional 

information. The first round adjudicator has given you 

a comprehensive report and it is my pleasant task to 

confirm these findings.
