St Helier among Britain in Bloom finalists

The capital of Jersey has been named among the 52 finalists for the Royal Horticultural Society's Britain in Bloom competition.

St Helier previously won a gold medal for the coastal category in 2022.

The town will compete in the same category in 2024 against three others - Bexhill, in East Sussex, Heysham Village in Lancashire and North Berwick in Scotland.

Judges will visit the island in the summer and the winners will be announced in the autumn.

In 2022, the judges visited the recycling team, the town centre, and other places in St Helier.
