Southwater village has been awarded Silver Gilt in its very first South & South East in Bloom competition – just one level below Gold!
We were especially delighted to see Raylands Park and our conservation and environmental work highlighted as part of Southwater’s entry.
It’s wonderful recognition for everything happening across the village – and we’re very proud that the rewilding, biodiversity and wildlife work we’ve been carrying out here at Raylands has played a part.
“The Parish Council’s entry showcased a range of recent improvements across Southwater, including enhancement works at the War Memorial, wildflower planting at Nutham Lane Village Green, Raylands Park and their outstanding conservation and environmental efforts, our upgrades to play areas and open spaces, maintenance of village assets, and more community projects. These initiatives demonstrated our commitment to creating a welcoming, attractive and sustainable environment for residents and visitors alike.”
A huge congratulations to Southwater Parish Council, its team, volunteers and everyone across the community who contributed. What a brilliant result for our village!
