In Bloom Competitions & Community Gardening 2026-27

To receive and consider the report of the Communications & Community Engagement Officer.

Minutes:

The Committee received and considered the report of the Communications & Community Engagement Officer (C&CEO).

 

Members welcomed the proposals to improve the area around Unterhaching Park which it was believed would complement the improvement works and changes being made by West Oxfordshire District Council to the Marriotts Close Shopping Area adjacent to the park.

 

A Member noted that the signage agreed for Unterhaching park was not yet erected and asked that Officers review this and other parks as it would hopefully address issues being reported regarding dogs in the park.

 

Recommended:

 

1.      That, the report be noted and,

2.      That, £1,500 from the In Bloom budget be approved for works at Unterhaching Park and,

3.      That, the purchase of four new Schools in Bloom wheelbarrows be approved and,
