Council invite ideas for carpet bedding display - 13/12/06

 

Voluntary organisations are being invited to submit ideas which can be incorporated into the annual carpet bedding display at The Parade Gardens in Barry.

 

The display area, at the junction of Harbour Road and The Parade, measures four metres square, and has, in the past, been used to commemorate events such as the Barry Dock Lifeboat Centenary and the award of a Blue Flag for Whitmore Bay, Barry Island.

 

The Vale of Glamorgan Council is looking for a suitable subject for the 2007 display which will interest residents and visitors alike.

 

Operational Manager (Parks and Grounds Maintenance) Phil Beaman said: "Any voluntary organisation with something to celebrate in 2007 is invited to express their interest before the end of January.

 

"All we require is a simple logo that can be displayed with plants, and an explanation of why the organisation thinks their display should be planted."
