AS we turn towards the longest day, I want to publicly thank the Parks Department of Chippenham Town Council for the care and quality they put into the floral displays which give pleasure for almost the entire year. 
The bulbs planted in grass increase in numbers planted as well as naturalisation and have been wonderful this year. Now we can enjoy the summer plantings and hanging baskets.
I imagine the Parks budget has been hit like all the budgets. What the team achieves for us is all the more special. Thank you all.
