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.

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
