Business Owners in Bovey
Its time again to decide if you would like to enter South West in Bloom this year.
The business entries had such a good outcome last year with Gold for The Bell Inn and Brookside Tea Rooms. I hope more businesses can be encouraged to enter this year. You will need to submit your application with a fee of £25. Closing date for entries is 5th April 2024. Applications can be made via vwww.southwestinbloom.org.uk
Bovey Tracey Town Council will plan a celebration event similar to next year in October half term so that any children who wish to attend will be able to.
Please contact Sheila Brooke (Town Mayor and Chairperson) if you would like further information.
