Julianstown Shines in Pride of Place

All credit to Julianstown Residents Association. Last Thursday two judges came from the all-Ireland Pride of Place organisation to spend 3 hours in the area judging the village. Julianstown was one of only four entries especially selected by Meath County Council to participate.

More than 50 people turned out on a Sunny morning and were joined by local councilors and representatives from local and voluntary groups. The judges were treated to a presentation on the history and outlook for Julianstown.

Many locals made contributions from the floor, highlighting community projects and pointing out some of their concerns. It was ironic that in researching the history of the residents association which started in 1974 that one of the first items on the agenda was traffic and speeding in the village. Plus ca change as they say in France.
