JUDGEMENT Day arrived in Saltburn this week as the town braced itself for a good performance in the Britain In Bloom competition.
The seaside town is a stalwart in the Northumbria In Bloom, Britain In Bloom and Nations In Bloom events and has scored several successes, including third place in Washington DC, USA, and runner up in the United Arab Emirates.
The town has been plucked, pruned, preened and spruced up ready for the judges arrival and now fingers are being kept crossed until the winners are announced later in the year.
The judges were given a tour of the town on Monday and shown the hanging baskets, shrubs and other floral attractions put together by volunteers.
