Yesterday (Thursday) judges from Britain in Bloom visited the town. We must wait until the end of August to hear the results.

Many people have prepared the town for the judges' visit. We know that hundreds of hours of service have been given by the young and not so young; by cleaning the town, by caring for the floral displays and for their concern for the well being of the town.

To everybody who has helped to raise the profile of Ledbury through Ledbury in Bloom, we thank you most sincerely.

Tom and Mary Deane, Woodfield Road, Ledbury
