COLOUR COMES TO NORTHDOWN ROAD

One of Thanet's local high streets is getting a splash of colour this summer, with the arrival of new floral baskets.

A total of 48 baskets have been installed along Northdown Road in Cliftonville from Margate Caves all the way up to Tesco and the project is organised by Youngs Nurseries.

The baskets have been funded with a combination of money from Thanet District Council, the Cliftonville Partnership and from Cllr. John Watkins, who represents Margate Central.

Pamela Pople is the Community Development Support Worker for the Cliftonville Partnership and is funded by the Safer Stronger Communities Fund (SSCF).

She said: "This floral display project is an excellent example of partnership working and makes a huge impact on Northdown Road, providing much needed colour, which instantly raises morale in the area. The project is always very well received by businesses, organisations, residents and visitors alike and is vital, especially in this current financial climate."
