I’ve just received pictures of a Saturday morning a couple of weeks ago when I joined volunteers planting bushes and shrubs on a roundabout in Hillmorton near the Stag & Pheasant pub. Rugby has an excellent reputation for its contribution to Britain in Bloom and this was Hillmorton’s first attempt at the Neighbourhood category in the regional campaign, with local people doing their bit to make the local environment more attractive. Rugby Borough Council supplied the shrubs but the hard work was put in by volunteers. I was pleased to have the opportunity to help, and will make a special detour each time I’m in the vicinity to see how the fruits of my labours are coming on!
