Bloomin' cuts!

COUNCILLORS have agreed to scale down floral displays across the borough in a bid to save cash.

Cloonavin's Environmental Services Committee voted unanimously for a series of measures that could reduce the department's spend by £30,000.

In his report to members, Director of Environment Aiden McPeake said the borough's towns and villages were recognised for their “vibrant and colourful floral displays.”

He continued: “These displays have resulted in success at competitions such as Britain In Bloom and Ulster In Bloom."
