There was double success for Paul Waite at the Calne in Bloom awards ceremony on Friday night as he won gold in two separate categories.

Mr Waite, who lives at The Rise, came first in the front garden and back garden categories at the ceremony in the town hall.

Last week the town won gold in the South West in Bloom competition but Friday night celebrated the individual success of Calne’s green-fingered residents.

In the container garden category Mrs Park, of Magnolia Rise, picked up the first prize while Penn Court won residential/community garden.

Trudy King, Calne Town Council’s community services assistant, said: “The standard of all the gardens was very high this year and the judges found it hard to choose the winners but Paul did exceptionally well with both his gardens.”
