Deputy Mayor of Causeway Coast and Glens, Councillor Tanya Stirling said: “I was delighted to meet the members of Moneydig Rural Network and congratulate them on their success at this year’s Best Kept Community Awards.

“It is fantastic to hear about the hard work and effort that have been put in to achieve these two outstanding awards. I would like to thank both the volunteers and our Council’s Estates team who work tirelessly all year round to upkeep the local area.

“I am honoured to join the residents to celebrate their achievements, as Deputy Mayor it is inspiring to see the pride the residents of Moneydig Park have for where they live.”
