BRITAIN IN BLOOM JUDGES VISIT BRACKNELL

29/07/08

Representatives from the Royal Horticultural Society visited Bracknell last week to judge the town’s entry in this year’s Britain in Bloom contest.

Accompanied by Bracknell Forest Borough councillors and representatives from sponsors, including Bracknell Regeneration Partnership and Bracknell Town Council, the judges were taken on a tour of the Borough in a sunflower oil fuelled bus which was followed by a walk through the town centre.

Steve McKenna, Bracknell Forest Borough Council’s landscape manager said: “With the sun shining and the flowers around the town looking fabulous, I am sure that we will be an extremely hard act to follow. I will keep my fingers’ crossed for a successful outcome.”

Helen Barnett, marketing manager for Bracknell Regeneration Partnership commented: “The winners of the Britain in Bloom competition will be announced in September. The town looks absolutely fantastic and has really given us all something to be very proud of.”

The Britain in Bloom entry is part of the Bracknell Flowers campaign to regenerate the local environment through the imaginative planting of trees, shrubs, flowers and landscaping.

Bracknell Flowers is part of an on-going commitment by Bracknell Forest Council, Bracknell Town Council and Bracknell Regeneration Partnership.
