Tidy Towns: Tidy Local Communities

The Tidy Towns: Tidy Local Communities project started in Monmouthshire in September 2008, with Welsh Assembly Government’s “Tidy Towns” initiative funding.  It is delivered by “adventa” which is part of the Economic Development Department of Monmouthshire County Council.
