Bae Colwyn Bay

Ingrid Lewis Colwyn Bay Town Manager and Chair of Colwyn in Bloom said: ”To be invited to participate in the Britain in Bloom competition is an immense honour that few towns ever realise. The real winner however is the wider Colwyn Bay community who have worked together in partnership to achieve this positive outcome. This hard work and sheer enthusiasm of so many community, social and business groups, individuals and the public sector should be applauded.”

• Voluntary Groups are continuing their excellent work in improving their communities
• Gardeners from throughout the area have tended their gardens or where no garden is available have created rooftop gardens and window boxes
• A record number of businesses have purchased hanging baskets
• The Bryn Euryn Nursery team has developed the hanging baskets and railing troughs
