PCSO Litchfield said: “This wouldn’t have been possible without all the volunteers, Ramsgate Town Councillors and Ramsgate Town technicians, so a big thank you to everyone.”
Britain in Bloom and the regional South & South East in Bloom have various categories for people to enter each year including; Parks, Churchyards, Conservation Areas and It’s Your Neighbourhood.
Congratulations on the wonderful displays and all the hard work. I do hope the mayoress of Ramsgate can lead a campaign to help catch and stop those vandals who are trying to spoil our town by vandalism and graffiti.
Shop a yob don’t let them ruin our town.
all a bit late now i fear bill , the lunatics have taken over the asylum , and its a bit to far gone now to ever come back as anything even half decent.
“Realist” , don’t you ever make a nice comment where you actually praise people?
There are some absolutely beautiful areas in Ramsgate. The people who planted and maintain them should be thanked and encouraged.
The lunatics are the Ramsgate town council
quite right penelope – well said
