Daffodil competition unearths exceptional talent

The Mayor and Mayoress have presented prizes for the Council's annual daffodil-growing competition for primary schools in the borough.

 

The Council's parks service provides pupils with the bulbs, growing material and pots for them to take home and their efforts are then judged by the service's Graham Newsome and Regeneration and Community Chair Councillor Stephen Pitts.

 

New for 2017 was the Chair of Regeneration and Community Special Commendation award which went to Isabel Parker (pictured below) of Kewaigue School.
