This year, sixty-six villages entered Cork County Council�s annual Anti-Litter Challenge, showcasing the unwavering commitment and community spirit of voluntary groups across the county. Twenty-four finalists were presented with certificates this week to commend their work in curbing litter in their villages.
In the Large Villages category, Kildorrery (North), Saleen (South) and Durrus (West) once again claimed the top spot in their respective divisions for the second consecutive year.
The Small Villages competition saw a remarkable achievement with four villages in the Western Division � Ardfield, Ardgroom, Drinagh and Kilmacsimon Quay � maintaining an entirely litter free status during the six-week judging period, a remarkable achievement for the dedicated volunteers involved. First place honours for the Northern and Southern Divisions were awarded to Coolagown and Ballinhassig respectively.
