Over the year the Committee grew and forged alliances with Laois County Council, local schools and community groups, building a momentum that is evidenced today by the achievements of the group. Charged with creating a community that continues to be an attractive place to live, work and visit the focus is now on place-making and on re-imagining a beautiful heritage town as a smart and sustainable community. There is an inclusive ethos and determination to engage the wider community in the work. The Committee collaborates freely with external groups and institutions and maintains a very positive working relationship with a range of public bodies and agencies, not least the Local Authority. It promotes a &#8216;support local&#8217; ethos and is currently working on significant flagship biodiversity and climate action projects.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Community Contact: Pamela Tynan<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"mailto:ptynan@laoiscoco.ie\">ptynan@laoiscoco.ie<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Citation:<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">The judges said that this is one of the finest examples in the island of Ireland, of community development enhancing the everyday lives of the local population and visitors alike.\u202f\u202fTheir bog conservation project, the jewel in the crown, has gained international accolade \u2013 it is one of many outstanding initiatives<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<div  class='avia-button-wrap av-l38sftsm-48ce9b06c2e86d5dbf06b841760635d6-wrap avia-button-left  avia-builder-el-3  el_after_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-last '><a href='https:\/\/prideofplace.ie\/2021-winners\/'  class='avia-button av-l38sftsm-48ce9b06c2e86d5dbf06b841760635d6 avia-icon_select-yes-left-icon avia-size-small avia-position-left avia-color-theme-color'  ><span class='avia_button_icon avia_button_icon_left' aria-hidden='true' data-av_icon='\ue830' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'><\/span><span class='avia_iconbox_title' >View all 2021 Winners<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"featured_media":4595,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","tags":[],"portfolio_entries":[24],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Category Three \u2013 Population Category 1,000 \u2013 3,000 - IPB Pride of Place Awards<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/prideofplace.ie\/portfolio-item\/category-three-population-category-1000-3000\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_GB\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Category Three \u2013 Population Category 1,000 \u2013 3,000 - IPB Pride of Place Awards\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/prideofplace.ie\/portfolio-item\/category-three-population-category-1000-3000\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"IPB Pride of Place Awards\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2022-05-16T14:23:52+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/prideofplace.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Abbeyleix-Tip.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"900\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"466\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Estimated reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"3 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/prideofplace.ie\/portfolio-item\/category-three-population-category-1000-3000\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/prideofplace.ie\/portfolio-item\/category-three-population-category-1000-3000\/\",\"name\":\"Category Three \u2013 Population Category 1,000 \u2013 3,000 - IPB Pride of Place Awards\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/prideofplace.ie\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/prideofplace.ie\/portfolio-item\/category-three-population-category-1000-3000\/#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/prideofplace.ie\/portfolio-item\/category-three-population-category-1000-3000\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/prideofplace.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Abbeyleix-Tip.jpg\",\"datePublished\":\"2022-05-16T23:09:09+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2022-05-16T14:23:52+00:00\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/prideofplace.ie\/portfolio-item\/category-three-population-category-1000-3000\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-GB\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/prideofplace.ie\/portfolio-item\/category-three-population-category-1000-3000\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-GB\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/prideofplace.ie\/portfolio-item\/category-three-population-category-1000-3000\/#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/prideofplace.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Abbeyleix-Tip.jpg\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/prideofplace.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Abbeyleix-Tip.jpg\",\"width\":900,\"height\":466,\"caption\":\"Members of Abbeyleix Tidy Towns committee and Ann-Marie Kelly Laois County Council launching the Green Dog Walkers Pledge at the Abbeyleix Tidy Towns meeting in The Manor Hotel Abbeyleix to review the year and plan for 2018.
