- Whitehead
Train Station – winner of the Community Rail Halt Award
- Whitehead
– 2nd in the Small Town category
- Carrickfergus
– 2nd in the Large Town category
- Larne
– 2nd in the Town category
Mayor of MEA Borough, Cllr Billy Ashe, is delighted
with the accolades:
"Translink Ulster in Bloom is a magnificent
opportunity for our Borough to enhance its surroundings and create beautiful
displays that are enjoyed by everybody. Our Borough is renowned for its floral
displays which are enjoyed by residents and tourists alike. In the Borough, the
'In Bloom' initiative is much more than bedding plants and making the Borough
look good for one day; instead it is a 365 day a year initiative. MEA Borough
Council along with
our partners have done a wonderful job in broadening the appeal of our ‘in
Bloom’ initiative and by getting people to work together, we have made our
Borough much better place to live and visit.”
The award ceremony will take
place in March 2016.
