SIR – Following the judging for Yorkshire in Bloom, Ilkley in Bloom would like to thank those residents who helped litter-pick and generally tidy up the evening before.
Also thanks to the Bradford Council Parks and Landscapes’ staff for their hard work leading up to judging.
Under the current marking scheme for ‘In Bloom’, only 50 per cent of the marks are allocated towards horticulture, with the remaining 50 per cent being for Community Involvement and Environmental considerations.
With this is mind we would be pleased to hear from any residents who look after patches of land within their area, other than their own property, so that we can point out to the judges areas where members of the community are involved.
I can be contacted on (01943) 604521 or kkmbrown@tiscali.co.uk.
Summer judging will be taking place during the morning of Wednesday, July 16.
Kate Brown, Honourable Secretary, Ilkley in Bloom
