16 volunteers took to the streets of Ulverston at the weekend to clean up litter ahead of Britain in Bloom judges next week.

A post created on the Ulverston Business Improvement District Facebook page on Sunday (August 11) thanked the volunteers along with local café Moma's Kitchen for providing much-needed refreshments. 

The town’s BID was revealed as one of the 52 finalists of the 2024 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Britain in Bloom Finals 2024.
