The Outstanding Achievement Award was presented to Keep Abergavenny Tidy. Since relaunching in 2019, Keep Abergavenny Tidy (KAT) has gone from strength to strength, with more than 60 active members collecting nearly 90 bags of litter each month. From streets and parks to rivers and alleyways, KAT tackles hotspots, supports Wales in Bloom, and works closely with local councils, schools, and community groups. Their efforts not only keep Abergavenny and surrounding communities clean, but also build pride, connection, and environmental awareness.
