National awards for Clonakilty initiatives

A unique cycling project along with a revolutionary sewerage treatment plant and a community-minded business have gained national awards for a West Cork town.

The Clonakilty Cycle Scheme landed a double win in the “best community-based initiative” and “outstanding excellence” categories at the annual Community and Council awards in Dublin.

The event was hosted by LAMA (Local Authorities Members’ Association) which represents county and city councillors nationwide.
