Athboy Tidy Towns has been active on many projects over the years. Some have been in association with other groups in the town (in the very successful “Adopt a Plot”). Many are complete but need annual maintenance and others are “continual improvement” projects.

Renewal of Heritage Signs
Existing signs (there are 13 around town) on buildings were renewed/replaced due to weathering.
