Dozens of Burnham-On-Sea residents were presented with awards – including’s the town’s Mayor – when the annual Britain In Bloom prize ceremony was held on Friday evening (October 24th).
Mayor Peter Burridge-Clayton and Burnham In Bloom’s Dave Perrett received a Silver Gilt award given to Burnham by judge Terry Porter at a prize ceremony in the town council chambers, as pictured here.
Burnham-On-Sea.com first reported in September that the town had been awarded a silver award in the Sergent Cup, which is open to mid-sized towns across the region. Organisers were delighted with the result after Burnham performed poorly last year.
Judge Terry Porter told Burnham-On-Sea.com: “I was really pleased by the dramatic turnaround and change in Burnham this year.”
“The town did really well in a tough category and full credit goes to all those people who put in a lot of effort to make the town look so good.”
More than 150 people crowded into the town council chambers for Friday’s presentation evening, when awards were handed out to dozens of residents in the Burnham In Bloom competition. [Click here for a full list of winners]
