A MARKET town is entering the Yorkshire in Bloom competition for the first time.

A team is already in place to help make Malton look at its best over the summer months and more people are being encouraged to get on board.

Town councillor Christopher Turner said: “We are very lucky to have three expert gardeners to advise us how to go about it.

“Our gardeners include Roger Burnett, previously head of parks at Scarborough Borough Council and now in charge of community projects, Brian Harrison, previously head gardener at Castle Howard and Sledmere House, and Sheila Johnson, community environment at Scarborough Borough Council.”
