Windermere Town Council

Cumbria In Bloom

Each year, the Windermere Town Council enters the "Cumbria In Bloom Competition" which embraces the overall picture of the Parish including businesses, private dwellings, public spaces and community amenities.  For 2011 this has been re-branded "Cumbria In Bloom Pride in Your Community."

The competition also looks at community projects which benefit and enhance the area overall whether it is maintained by the District or Town Council, a private individual or the public at large; they aim for us to keep our areas clean, tidy and attractive, thereby making for a better environment in which to live and work and enter the "Windermere In Bloom" competition.

There is also the added bonus of making the area attractive to visitors in the hope that they and their friends will return in the future.

The Windermere Town Council have entered under the heading of "Best Town" and judging took place on the 11th July 2011.  Windermere & Bowness, are aiming to win this category for a forth time, having already won this award 3 times in a row.

The categories for judging are:

Section A - Horticultural Achievement.

Section B - Environmental Responsibility.

Section C - Community Participation.

A number of local schools have, throughout the year, been undertaking projects that fall under one or more of the above categories.  The schools in question are:

Windermere Town/Parish Council's

Cumbria In Bloom Award's

For further information on both competitions, please contact any member of the Windermere In Bloom Competition Advisory Group.
