A message from Louise Prynne

As the city has been basking in the sunshine, the BID has funded the installation of 24 high profile floral displays in the city to ensure Bath is looking its best for the Summer season. Four tier planters have been installed in Milsom Street, Kingsmead Square and at the entrance to Green Street with additional hanging baskets in Milsom Street. These complement the new railing troughs adjacent to John Anthony at the entrance to Upper Borough Walls. The planting is part of a welcome programme which the BID is developing to ensure the city looks great and that there are floral displays throughout the city supported by the council,the BID, landlords and tenants. The Bath in Bloom judging takes place on Monday 17th July.
