Town Flowers & Baskets

On this lovely day in Wadebridge let's share some of the beautiful floral displays around town. Our Parks Dept, Caretaking/Car Park staff, Amenities Manager and Town Clerk have worked throughout lockdown, with Heather Trenowth from Trenowth Nurseries in St Columb, to make sure our Town continues to bloom this summer.
 
We are aware some residents may feel that our floral displays have been at the expense of grass cutting. The Town Council are contracted by Cornwall Council to cut grass in areas around the town. During lockdown we were advised that the cutting of grass on Cornwall Council land wasn't considered an essential task and we were told not to cut until advised to do so. Our Parks Dept didn't want to stop their grass cutting duties as they are well aware of how much time it takes to bring grass back to the standard they are happy with. However, Covid-19 didn't take much notice of what our Parks Dept staff wanted and we were all subject to changes we weren't particularly happy with. We have all been living and working in very difficult circumstances and hope that as we get back on track with our grass cutting you can understand the challenges we have all faced in the past few months.
