RAWDON In Bloom will be being judged for the Yorkshire In Bloom Competition on July 15th.

They have also been nominated to represent Yorkshire in the Britain in Bloom competition to be judged on August 7.

So the voluntary group is making an extra effort this year with a new large planter at the A65 entry to the village from Leeds. Leeds North West MP Katie White has visited to see the progress being made.

Phil Gomersall, vice chair, Rawdon in Bloom said: "We have worked in conjunction with many other groups to make Rawdon special, but what has been achieved working in conjunction with the Rawdon Knitting Group is something quite spectacular.

"You've seen post box toppings, bollard toppings and the like, but what has been achieved with these two groups is beyond belief, The Rawdon Tapestry. It must be seen to be believed, it is amazing, you could stand all day and still see something new in it."
