Stockton-on Tees

Stockton-on-Tees has worked hard in progressing their in Bloom campaign over the last two years, with the standard of bedding making a noticeable improvement.

Ropner Park, since its refurbishment, has become a park for people to enjoy that is maintained to the highest standards. The council have worked well with the residents and with other agencies to produce an excellent entry.

The judges were particularly impressed with the flower towers in Church Road, St Mary’s roundabout bed, the flowers in the High Street and down Wellington Square the good standard throughout both in planting and maintenance of the bedding.

They said Billingham Beck Valley Country Park is a real asset to the borough with its range of habitats, visitor centre and use of volunteers and they found the regeneration of the Stockton area very exciting with plenty of new projects planned.
