NewsDesk – Britain in Bloom comes to Kidsgrove

March 16th, 2013

This year’s Britain in Bloom activities in Newcastle-under-Lyme start in Kidsgrove town centre on Wednesday, March 20th.

Officers from the borough council will be by the shops in King Street to tell people all about the project and introduce them to local competitions and the council’s planting assistance scheme.

They will also hand out balloons and bookmarks in a bid to encourage more young people to get involved.

Councillor Elsie Bates, Cabinet member for culture and leisure, said: “We have cultivated a very strong reputation in Britain in Bloom over more than two decades but we haven’t rested on our laurels and continue to come up with new ways to keep our campaign fresh.

“We’ve built on the success of the launch by extending it to Kidsgrove and I couldn’t be happier that my home town is kicking off proceedings this year. I hope that by increasing our presence we are able to get more people involved in improving their environment for the benefit of everyone.

“Britain in Bloom isn’t just about flowers; it boosts the economy, improves the environment and brings communities together.”
