The group hosted the YIB summer judging today with a tour round the town’s floral highlights. They were joined by the Town Mayor Councillor Pam Gill, and also Councillor Kevin Cooney, and the tour included visits to the new Nectar Bed and the wildflower meadow at the Whartons school. Everyone enjoyed the tour on a very sunny morning and it finished with lunch laid on by the group with help from Waitrose.
Four of our members tonight weeded, swept and litter picked Bremner Street, outside Mill Trading and the Red Pepper Indian restaurant.
On Sunday two of our group had cleaned up the area at ‘Gas Works Corner’ where we have created a community orchard and veg / fruit plot for the locals. Other group members also weeded on Boroughgate , Manchester Square and Walkergate. Earlier in the day we sprayed weed killer on Bridge Street, Manor Square, Boroughgate, Wesley Street, Courthouse Street, Bay Horse Court, Bondgate, Crossgate, Mercury Row, Newmarket and at the Bus Station.
One of our members today spent a beautiful early morning round town watering, removing graffiti and weed spraying.
Three of our members today attended the Town Mayor’s civic service at Otley Parish Church to represent Otley in Bloom.
