I QUITE agree with Dennis Woodcock about the cancelling of Darlington in Bloom due to a lack of entries (Echo, July 23).

I enter the competition and was very upset that it was cancelled at the last minute. I and many others have put a lot of hard work and a lot of money into making our gardens look nice. It’s like a slap in the face. I’m very very disappointed.
