East Midlands in Bloom annual awards taking place
Representatives from Rutland are gathering to celebrate their achievements
The East Midlands in Bloom annual awards are being held today (22 September).
Representatives from Rutland are among those who are gathering to celebrate their achievements.
In Bloom volunteers work to improve their local area, by taking ownership of public spaces, boosting civic pride and creating a cleaner, greener, healthier environment.
They are encouraged to work together with their local council, businesses, schools and community groups to help transform their area.
Councillor Stewart Swinburn, portfolio holder for Environment and Transport at North East Lincolnshire Council and Vice President of East Midlands in Bloom, said:
“North East Lincolnshire is a better place because of the efforts of the area’s In Bloom volunteers.
“I wish all the groups the best of luck in the upcoming awards and would like to thank them for attracting the presentation event to Great Grimsby.
“We are lucky to have several active groups in the area who work tirelessly to improve their local environment and build civic pride.
“From improved health and wellbeing to a sense of achievement and improving your community’s surroundings, there are many benefits to joining a group.
"They are always looking for volunteers so please contact a group near you and help make a difference.”
