Dozens of Burnham-On-Sea residents were presented with awards when the town’s annual Britain In Bloom ceremony was held on Friday evening (November 12th).
Almost 100 residents and business owners crowded into the town council chambers for the annual presentation night, when awards were given to those who had helped brighten up the town with floral displays over the summer.
The evening began with Deputy Mayor Pauline Pollard being presented with a Britain In Bloom Silver award, as pictured, by Sedgemoor District Council Chairman Jane Moreton and Burnham In Bloom organisers Dave Perrett and Richard Young.
The award was won by the town in the Sergeant Cup, which saw Burnham competing against numerous mid-sized towns across the South West.
Dozens of awards were then handed out to local residents and businesses by Mrs Moreton, who told the award winners: “This competition is a super example of how the community can work together and benefit the whole town.”
Mr Perrett and Mr Young were thanked for their work in organising the awards.
