Congratulations to city’s top York in Bloom performers
Issued by City of York Council
Congratulations from City of York Council have been sent to the city’s entries in York in Bloom which have been supported by the authority.
Councillor Sonja Crisp, City of York Council’s Cabinet Member for Leisure, Culture and Tourism, said: “What a fantastic result!
“Congratulations go out to all the city’s entrants this year – especially those which have won special commendations.
“To support the entrants around judging days the council’s street cleaning and grass cutting schedules were adjusted to help the city look its very best and we were also able to help with providing spare tubs and planters.
“York’s city-wide entries were noted by the regional judges last year to show “outstanding commitment to environmental responsibility, community participation and gardening achievement” and this year the city is looking gorgeous thanks to the skill and commitment of the city’s gardeners – and a favourable summer.
“Meanwhile council officers are working with communities to help maintain and develop the city’s parks and open spaces. This year’s crop of winners confirms York’s consistent ability to put on a fantastic show thanks to partnership working and outstanding skill and dedication across the city.”
