Dromora scoops Best Kept Award

28 October 2008 -

The County Down village of Dromara has won an award in the Best Kept Town and Village Awards 2008 for its environmental work Lisburn Today reports, something which will interest people keen on nature in Northern Ireland.

Organised by the Northern Ireland Amenity Council (NIAC), the prizes recognise the strides taken by communities to implement projects to improve the environment.

The Most Improved Entry award was given to Dromara for its work and Doreen Muskett, president of the NIAC, told the news provider the local people have made a great effort to better the village.

"Dromara is obviously a place where the residents take pride in the appearance of their locality and it is evident that they work together to achieve these excellent results," she said.

People keen to sample nature in Northern Ireland and enjoy an area which is well maintained can add Dromara to their list of places to visit while in the country.

According to Lisburn.com, Dromara is known to the locals as the sleepy village, meaning it could be the perfect location to visit for couples seeking a peaceful experience in Northern Ireland.
