Yesterday we were delighted to attend the Yorkshire in Bloom awards at the Riley-Smith Hall in Tadcaster along with members of our parks team, representatives from our local community groups and businesses.
Congratulations to our parks team for their hard work in keeping our parks and gardens looking so amazing throughout the year. Thanks also to Friends Of Valley Gardens for the wonderful work they do too.
