PLANT ENTHUSIASTS DOING THEIR BIT TO MAKE OUR AREA GREEN, LEAFY AND PLEASANT

 

A touch of whimsy in this enchanting display in Great Coates 

 IT'S countdown to the East Midlands in Bloom annual awards in Grimsby next Wednesday.

Representatives from Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, Rutland and Greater Lincolnshire will gather at the Town Hall to celebrate their achievements.

There will also be representation from this area's own enterprising In Bloom groups which include:

* Grimsby in Bloom

* Immingham in Bloom

* Great Coates in Bloom

* Old Clee in Bloom

* Chelmsford Avenue Neighbourhood Watch and In Bloom

Says Cllr Stewart Swinburn, portfolio holder for Environment and Transport at North East Lincolnshire Council and vice-president of East Midlands in Bloom: "North East Lincolnshire is a better place because of the efforts of the area’s In Bloom volunteers.

"I wish all the groups the best of luck in the upcoming awards and would like to thank them for attracting the presentation event to Great Grimsby."
