Laois Community & Voluntary Awards Best Kept Residential Area #laoisawards
Kiln Lane Residents Association in Mountrath won the new Best Kept Residential Area at the Laois Community and Voluntary Awards 2022.
The judge commended the “extremely high” quality of the entrants but she chose Kiln Lane. The citation said that on nominating the group Margaret Moore noted that the residents are very proud to live in the area, not just because it’s well maintained and well looked after all year round, but because they have a community of 90 houses with neighbours that care and look out for each other.
The Chief Executive of Laois County Council John Mullholland presented the winner with a Galway Crystal Plate and prize money of €500.
