A HIGHBRIDGE park has been awarded five stars by South West in Bloom as part of its Pride in Parks Award category.

Last year, the Friends of Apex Park entered Apex Leisure and Wildlife Park into the South West in Bloom Pride in Parks award category and showed judges around their beautiful park.

The Sedgemoor District Council owned park met all of Britain in Bloom’s South West assessment criteria and have been awarded the highest result possible for a park of five stars.

Members of The Friends of Apex Park were presented with their award by the chairman of South West in Bloom, Jon Wheatley, at a special ceremony on Wednesday (April 17).
