Britain in Bloom awards for North Lincolnshire’s parks, allotments and nature reserves

North Lincolnshire has picked up a clutch of prestigious Britain in Bloom East Midlands awards from the Royal Horticultural Society.

The newly developed Somervell Community/Inclusive Allotments scooped a major award – the RHS Judges Award for Community Focus.

Elsham Parish Nature Reserve, which used to be an old quarry, also received a Judge’s Award. The site is owned by Elsham Parish Council.

The judges commented that the site “is now transformed into a wonderful wildflower and wildlife facility which, as it develops, will be fully enjoyed by villagers and visitors alike.”

Central Park in Scunthorpe won an award for Excellence in Horticulture and Standards.

Recent work installing planters on local streets, including Britannia Corner, won a Bronze award.

Cllr David Rose, Cabinet member for Environment, said: “This is a marvellous achievement, and a welcome reward for the workforce who have put so much effort in over the past 12 months. North Lincolnshire’s green spaces are going from strength to strength.

“It is particularly noteworthy that unused and neglected areas have been taken and transformed them into spaces from which the whole community can benefit.”
