RESIDENTS in council
housing estates across Inishowen are being
encouraged to enter this year’s Best Kept Council
Housing Scheme competition.
“We have over 200 council housing estates all over
Donegal and there are lots of residents living in
these estates that do a tremendous job year in and
year out keeping their estate in tip top shape” says
Cathaoirleach of Donegal County Council Cllr.
Nicholas Crossan.
“This competition is about acknowledging the great
work that they do. This year we are also keen to
encourage more and more estates to enter the
competition. The competition is organised on a
Municipal District basis with a substantial prize
fund to be won. Prizes are awarded for schemes of
20 houses or less, schemes of between 21 and 50
houses and schemes of 51 houses or more.” |
