A HAT TRICK FOR NEWCASTLE! 🏆
Today we took home Gold and overall winner in the BID category for the THIRD consecutive year at the Heart of England in Bloom Awards!
LoveNUL in Bloom is led by Newcastle-under-Lyme BID in partnership with Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council bringing together the people, projects and places that make our town special.
And there’s more to celebrate! We also picked up two discretionary awards:
🌿 Landscape Award recognising the work to introduce more sustainable planting across Newcastle. The judges described the displays, including those in Queen’s Gardens, as “stunning”!
👏 Chair’s Award for local historian Jim Worgan, celebrating our very own fountain of knowledge and his dedication to sharing Newcastle’s history over the years. We’re absolutely delighted for you, Jim!
From planting and public spaces to heritage, events and community projects, there was plenty to showcase during July’s judging visit.
A huge thank you to the businesses, volunteers, community groups and partner organisations who joined us to tell Newcastle’s story and who give so much to our town throughout the year.
What a result for Newcastle! 🎉
