In Durham Town Hall this evening, Blooming Shotley Bridge was awarded the highest category of ‘outstanding’ in the RHS ‘It’s Your Neighbourhood Award’. The judge had awarded the Trust 87/100 points.
This year there had been 46 entries from across the region in this non-competitive award scheme, organised by the Northumbria in Bloom committee.
A big Thank You to all the businesses, residents and volunteers who helped the Trust achieve success.
The Village Trust now has a new logo which will start appearing on our correspondence, publications and projects.
