We are a Voluntary Community Group working endlessly for a cleaner, tidier, greener, nicer, and overall livelier town in which to live, work, shop, stroll, and visit.
We value and preserve our heritage.
We are continually improving our green areas and our local biodiversity, along with taking care of our unique coastal environment.
Join us! See our open volunteer hours below.
All volunteers are most welcome to our group.
The group upholds equal opportunities and works towards good relations amongst all members of the community, specifically prohibiting any conduct which discriminates or harasses on grounds of race, age, religion, disability, political belief, sex, or sexual orientation. The group is non-political and non-sectarian.
Our History
The Dún Laoghaire Tidy towns group was re-established in January 2020. We have a large and growing group of volunteers and we carry out many activities in the Dún Laoghaire area.
Our Objectives
Enhance the physical and social environment of Dún Laoghaire Town and its environs. Represent Dún Laoghaire Town in the National TidyTowns competitions, Tidy Districts, Dublin Neighbourhood Awards and any other competitions deemed beneficial to the promotion of the Town. Liaise with governing authorities such as Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council to aid in the development and management of a litter free, clean, green and biodiverse environment for the Town and its environs.
Our Activities
Cleanups of Dún Laoghaire
We meet every Saturday morning at 10h30, corner of Marine Road and Georges Street.
During the academic year Transition Year students from a number of secondary schools take part in a range of activities each Tuesday from 2pm.
Improving biodiversity – Renovating, planting, maintaining green areas
We have renovated and planted several sites in the town including the Carnegie Library gardens, Bloomfields wild flower meadow, Boylan Centre at Sussex Street, and the six flowerbeds along Haigh Terrace. Other areas we look after include the lavender beds in Georges Street and St. Michael’s Square and the Bell Tower of St. Micheal’s Church, with many more to come!
Harbour and coastline
We devote a lot of effort to cleaning our piers, harbour area, and the pleasure gardens at the East pier.
Dún Laoghaire Heritage and Signage
We are working with DLRCOCO to re-establish the town identity using appropriate welcome signage based on its historic past.
