I WOULD like to congratulate the people of Devizes for their part in enabling Devizes to win Gold in South West in Bloom.
Whether it’s a large flowering basket, a small vegetable plot, a hanging basket or just keeping the front of their houses tidy, it all added to the ambiance of the town.
Special thanks to the officers and staff of Devizes Town Council, the Parks department and to Curds, a voluntary group,who twice a week tackle the weeds and litter in the town. 
These groups work all year to make the town a pleasant, beautiful place to visit.
I am extremely pleased and proud to be mayor of such a beautiful town.
Thank you all.
COUN JANE M BURTON
Mayor of Devizes
