A Whitchurch voluntary group has been recognised for transforming the town.
We Are Whitchurch (WAW) received the highest level of achievement, Level 5 'Outstanding', at the Heart of England in Bloom's 'It's Your Neighbourhood' ceremony.
The event took place on Friday, September 13, at the Holme Lacy Hotel in Hereford.
- Another person released from lift at St John's Park in Whitchurch
- I stayed at the worst-rated hotel in a Welsh seaside town – a night at the Grand
- Duck that was being used as a doorstop sells for £3,800 at auction
Tony Comley, an assessor from Heart of England in Bloom, was welcomed by Rose Hall, Deputy Mayor of Whitchurch, to the group's 'Jewel in The Crown', the Harry Richards Garden, Jubilee Park, in July.
He was particularly impressed by WAW's creation of a Sensory Garden and Community Allotment, which features a recycled bottle greenhouse, designed and built by students from Sir John Talbot's School.
Mr Comley was also impressed by other projects the group has completed, including clearing, tidying, and planting around the historic market town.
