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.
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 "Small Town" and judging has taken place on the
8th July 2008. We will wait with baited breath for the
outcome!!!
The categories for judging are:
Section A - Floral Displays.
Section B - Permanent landscaping
including shrubs.
Section C - Local Agenda 21 and
Sustainable Development.
Section D - Local Environmental
Quality.
Section E - Public Awareness.

the above categories. The schools in question are:
