I WOULD like to say a very big thank you to all the Bournemouth council staff and volunteers for their hard work and support in helping Bournemouth win the Entente Florale Europe Gold Award last Friday.
It is a superb achievement for Bournemouth, made possible by the excellent efforts of all involved.
The judges congratulated Bournemouth on embracing Entente Florale, and were very impressed with the strength of our partnerships in the business and voluntary sectors, as well as the high level of community involvement across the town.
The efforts of everyone involved are hugely appreciated, and I am sure that all councillors will join with me in saying thank you for such a splendid result.
CLLR JOHN BEESLEY, Leader of Bournemouth council
