ALL the hard work came to fruition for the tidiest estates, gardens and businesses in Tralee on Monday night.
The Tidy Tralee Awards were held in the Fels Point Hotel with prizes across five categories heading to all corners of the town.
This year, volunteers in Tralee have once again made great strides for the town, their hard work being repaid with retaining their gold status in the National Tidy Towns competition and rising from 25th to third in the IBAL litter league in the past few years.
Tralee is also shortlisted as one of Fáilte Ireland Best Large Tourism Towns in Ireland.
The big award winners this year in the local competition were Manor Village in the ‘Best Large Estate’ category. Quarryvale in Mounthawk won ‘Best Medium Estate’ and scooping the ‘Best Small Estate’ award was Castlemorris Terrace.
Picking up the special ‘Iconic Award’ was Kirby’s Brogue Inn, which always stands out for its striking appearance at the bottom of Rock Street.
