Bloomin' marvellous!

September 10, 2009

Bloomin marvellousBig Celebrations!! We've been awarded Outstanding in this year's Britain in Bloom competition, in the Neighbourhoods category. It's another really important milestone for us as the Whyke Estate Community Association as we continue our work to transform the Whyke Estate from being effectively a 'sink estate' that noone wanted to live on and that had a really bad reputation in the area into a wonderful place to live, a place that people can be proud of and a place that people now really want to move onto. It was also great to see Dave Tilley (next to me) receive a special certificate of achievement at the national awards ceremony, in recognition of all the hard work that he has put into this particularly. The children from the local school are there because they form the school's Eco-team and played their part too. Mali is second from the right.
