Last night was the award ceremony for the Royal Horticultural Societies Britain in Bloom, Crawley were one of the finalists due, as I understand it, to being crowned South & South East in bloom best Large Town/small city this was a great achievement for the town. As an outsider when I first came to Crawley I was immediately impressed with the street scene work, but have found that many of Crawley's residents take it for granted.
Crawley were victorious winning the silver gilt award and being crowned category winner, a massive achievement for amenity services and for the community groups that work hard to make the area a nicer place to live.
Crawley also picked up a community award, I am not sure if this was for an actual specific group or the work in the town generally, but for a new town that has been accused of lacking community, this is obviously pleasing either way. The overall champion of champions was the small Scottish town of Falkland in Fife, winners for the second year in a row.
Roll on next year!
