Communities are being invited to enter a new-look Yorkshire in Bloom competition. Additional categories have been introduced including one for schemes celebrating the millennium. A trophy will be awarded for each of the next three years leading to an outright winner in the fourth year. Yorkshire in Bloom chairman Frank Robinson says: "We are looking towards a bumper year for entries as more villages, towns and communities seek to improve their environment through extra planting, landscaping and floral features."

For further information write to Yorkshire in Bloom at 17 Hazel Close, Burn Bridge, Harrogate HG3 1NB, or phone 01423 873316.
