Agenda item

To receive the report of the Communications & Community Engagement Officer

The Committee received and considered the report of the Communications & Community Engagement Officer.

Members considered and agreed with the suggestion received from Witney Rotary Club to carry out Schools in Bloom judging and awarding of prizes to school at the Witney Carnival in July.

The Committee discussed the use of the leftover Britain In Bloom budget to be used for the installation of planters at the entrances to Witney under the Welcome to Witney signs. Members believe these planters would be attractive to residents and visitors to the town. They also asked that officers investigate options to refresh the signage at the same time.

Resolved:

1.            That, the report be noted and,

2.            That, the judging of future school in bloom wheelbarrow entries be carried out by the Rotary Club of Witney at Witney Carnival and,

3.            That, officers investigate options to refresh the “Welcome to Witney” signs and introduce planters to these areas
