Fermanagh's county town, Enniskillen,
has scooped the prestigious title of Ireland's Best Large Urban Centre as part
of an all-Ireland competition.
Nestled in the heart of the world
famous Lough Erne, Enniskillen - Ireland's only island town - came out top when
judged on cleanliness, the outward appearance of buildings, the presentation of
roads and public facilities and the natural environment.
Ireland's Best Kept Towns competition
is an all-Ireland initiative between the Northern Ireland Amenity Council and
the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government.
The 2013 all-Ireland award is the
sixth time Enniskillen has won the coveted 'Best Kept' title, firmly
establishing it as one of Ireland's most attractive towns.
Chairman of Fermanagh District
Council, Councillor Alex Baird, commended all those who help to keep
Enniskillen tidy.
'Winning an all-Ireland Best Kept
title for a sixth time is a tremendous achievement and is testament to the
pride and hard work, commitment and partnership working between Fermanagh
District Council, businesses, residents and partner agencies,' said Councillor
Baird.
'Enniskillen is a unique and charming
town with many attributes, however its natural beauty is foremost.'
The competition judges were
particularly impressed with the cleanliness of the shores and fringes of Lough
Erne and noted that Enniskillen town was free of litter, graffiti and fly
posting.
The results of Ireland's Best Kept
Towns competition were announced at a special awards ceremony in Farmleigh
House, Phoenix Park, Dublin, last week.
