Info

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 irELANd’S TidiEST TOwN 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.
