Frances said the plan is to develop the project over three years, starting on a fairly low key basis for this summer and gradually building up as more members of the community get on board.
It is hoped to have floral displays, hanging baskets and art exhibitions in the town centre, with ‘captains’ looking after their own section of the town.
For example, if the Gammon Walk captain is a trader they would try and encourage other traders to take part and to liaise with the Bloom committee.
Frances said: “Craig Bulley at Green Lanes has been fantastic already by offering support and space for exhibitions, displays and children's art work. Businesses that cannot give money, can support 'in kind' and we look forward to working with them.
