The year, 2011, saw the
Windermere In
Bloom Advisory Group and the
Windermere Town Council
accept the nomination from
Cumbria In Bloom
to be entered into the 2012
Britain In Bloom competition for the very
first time.
The Mayor of Windermere, Cllr. Joan
Stocker commented:
"Windermere Town Council has been
very proud of the Community record in helping to win our Cumbria in
Bloom Awards. We know how important it is to residents and
businesses that the area looks good. We are committing extra
resources in the Olympic torch year and golden Jubilee year to ensure
that we are looking good and we really hope that we can show the Britain
in Bloom Committee what a wonderful place we live in!
We hope all the community will play
their part in helping celebrate the big events and enjoy the coming
year."
Cllr. Lisa Greasley, Chair of Windermere
In Bloom said:
"2012 presents us with a very exciting time with our
entry into Britain In Bloom. This nomination is a great honour to
all concerned, especially as part of the double celebration of the
Olympics and Diamond Jubilee. This is an opportunity for our
community to work together towards a common goal in making the area
welcoming and attractive to residents and visitors alike."
The results of the Britain in Bloom Campaign 2012 are to
be announced in St. Peter Port, Guernsey on 6th October 2012. Bowness
and Windermere, collectively, are finalists for the first time, having
been nominated by Cumbria In Bloom, to complete against the very best
Towns in the UK. This is after being declared "Best Town"
winner in the Cumbria in Bloom competition for the fourth time in a row
last year.
After
last years' truly tremendous support from the community of Windermere
and Bowness and some resounding successes, such as the 'WinderClean' and
'Community Litterpick', ongoing improvements to the floral displays on
the Promenade in Bowness and new-look hanging baskets, the mood is one
of optimism and immense pride in what the
Windermere In Bloom committee
and the communities of Windermere and Bowness have achieved thus far.
Such a
fantastic set of results, not just in the 'In Bloom' campaign but in the
improvements to the look and feel of the town, is a testament to the
communities of Windermere and Bowness, particularly the hard work and
dedication of the Windermere in Bloom team, the many helpers who join us
to help maintain and improve our town, the many local organisations,
clubs and societies with whom we have links and common goals and
everyone who has supported us, in whatever way.
The
Windermere In Bloom committee owe special thanks to the army of
volunteers who turned out to help the Windermere in Bloom team in the
last few weeks before judging last year.
Thank
you all, very well done and keep up the good work!
