People in Westminster probably think I’m a broken record, but I will never stop saying what is the truth - our part of the world is the most beautiful of them all! Across Devon, there are countless volunteers and community groups who make sure it stays that way whilst supporting our natural environment.
Sidmouth in Bloom is one such example, set up to preserve and enhance the beauty, flora, wildlife and greenspaces of our wonderful town.
They do a sterling job which was has been rightly recognised with a range of awards including South West in Bloom's Champion of Champions, RHS’ Award for Cultivating the Community, and Britain in Bloom’s Gold Award for Coastal Towns.
Last night, it was a pleasure to attend their event in partnership with Sidmouth Town Council at the Methodist Church. Awards were handed out to the people and businesses going that extra mile to keep Sidmouth stunning. Congratulations to all the winners and thank you to the organisers!
