BURNHAM-on-Sea's streets will soon be bursting into bloom and the organisers of an annual competition are urging residents to make it the most colourful year yet.

Burnham in Bloom has 16 categories to enter, ranging from best front garden to the best decorated shop window.

Now with summer fast approaching, organisers from Burnham in Bloom want to try and beat last year's efforts.

Dave Perrett, chairman of Burnham in Bloom, said he is looking forward to this year's competition.

“We are now open to entries for the local competition.

"About 100 people entered last year but we really want to get more people coming along.

"There are many categories for people or businesses who have gardens large or small so please come along and enter the competition."

This year Burnham is also being entered in the Pennant Town category in the South West in Bloom competition.

Judging will take place in July and trophies and certificates will be presented later this year.

Entry forms can be found in this week's Weekly News.
