SIDMOUTH in Bloom winners were rewarded for a year of hard work that saw the town land golden recognition, writes STEFAN GORDON.
Around 100 people descended on East Devon District Council’s Knowle headquarters last Thursday night to pick up a host of trophies and certificates. “This year the town has looked really good and it was a delight to take the judges around,” said Sidmouth in Bloom president Joy Seward. “They must have been impressed because we have never had so many certificates and cups in one year’s entry.”
Residents and organisations who took part were praised for showcasing Sidmouth’s community spirit.
Sidmouth Town Council was also thanked for taking over flower beds at the town’s entrances.
