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
13th July 2010.
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:
