Heywood in Bloom scoops 16 awards at North West in Bloom

Heywood in Bloom scooped 16 awards at the RHS It's Your Neighbourhood North West in Bloom awards ceremony in Southport.

It's Your Neighbourhood allows judges to visit to community-based projects that includes local schools, allotments, health and well-being projects and conservation areas.

Each entry is marked on its individual merit and can gain a maximum level 5 award.

Cherwell Wellbeing Centre was awarded the highest accolade possible, gaining a level 5 award.

Ellen Yates, chairwoman of Heywood in Bloom, said: “There are so many lovely areas across Heywood and we are proud to be able to bring these awards back. There will be a presentation evening at our headquarters so members from each group will be able to pick up their award and meet the rest of the team.

“These awards represent a wonderful mix of sheltered accommodations, schools, cricket clubs and even our local fire station.”
