Winner: Corduff, Co Dublin, Fingal Council Area<\/strong><\/p>\n Summary<\/strong>
\nWork began on building the Corduff estate, as we know it today in the 1970s but the initial use of the name Corduff was recorded over 800 years ago in 1256. There have been many significant changes to the local area during those millennia. Back then it was a case of “the cart before the horse” with houses built first and only rudimentary services in place for the community. Young families filled the estate and often felt isolated due to the very basic transport and communications services of the day. Corduff struggled through those years with many social issues, but resilience and community spirit was always evident, even in the darkest days of gang culture and crime. Today, through personal development, clubs, agencies, strong partnership work and great volunteerism, Corduff is proud to present its vibrant and confident community and to show-case the bright future all have worked so hard to provide for the next generation.<\/p>\n
