The funding comes as part of a €3m Public Area Enhancement Scheme.
"Meath County Council will be tasked with using this money to support local groups like TidyTowns who do excellent work in making our towns and villages attractive to locals and to tourists.

"This money is being allocated at a local level to be spent on local areas as Fine Gael in Government is dedicated to making the recovery local.
"This money will be spent to make a loop walk in Porchfield in Trim. €10,000 will be spent on landscaping and planting the Roundabouts approaching Kells and a massive €65,000 will be allocated to a state of the art playground at Blackwater Park in Navan.
"These amenities will be of huge benefit to locals and they will make the towns much more attractive to tourists.
"We need to make Kells, Navan and Trim nice places for people to live and enjoyable locations for people to visit. This funding is of huge benefit to local community groups, including the TidyTowns. There is no doubt that living in clean and tidy communities greatly improves our quality of life."
