The city neighbourhoods competition was established in 2003 on a two year pilot basis. The aim was to replicate the success of the national Tidy Towns competition in the five cities, by encouraging city communities, in partnership with business interests and local authorities, to actively engage in maintaining and enhancing their local environment. On completion of the pilot phase this year, I will review the situation and consider the question of extending the competition.
