Wrexham in Bloom Campaign 2010

Once again we had a very successful year receiving a Silver Gilt award from the Royal Horticultural Society for our 2009 Wales in Bloom campaign, just behind Newport in the City catorgory. Chirk also had great recognition of the work that the community had put into their floral displays and environmental improvements receiving a Silver Gilt in the Small Country Town catorgory. Llangollen rural ward also did very well, coming second in the Wrexham Community in Bloom event.

In 2010 we hope to build on this achievement, by again encouraging all sections of the community to create a cleaner, greener Wrexham borough, through lasting improvements to the environment.

This summer our Wrexham in Bloom route visits the Llangollen Rural, Cefn and Offa wards before entering Wrexham Town Centre. The judges will experince a canal boat crossing of the ‘World Heritage Site’ – Pontcycyllte Aqueduct, visiting the communities of Froncysyllte, Trevor and Garth. After this, we will travel through Acrefair and Cefn taking a look at the Heriatge improvements to the villages that have been carried out over the past couple of years.

Other areas of the borough which are not on the route will also benefit from our efforts. Wrexham Council departments will be working closely with Community Councils and local business and together with Welsh Assembly Keep Wales Tidy (Tidy Town) funding we will carry out several environment improvements this year.

The campaign focuses on:

Making our environment greener through floral displays, permanent shrub and tree planting, landscaping and nature conservation.
Improving cleanliness through litter and graffiti removal, cleaning up vandalism and encouraging everyone to recycle.
Encouraging shops and businesses to improve their premises and support the campaign through sponsorship and floral displays such as hanging baskets.
Encouraging residents to improve their own gardens.
