DARLEY IS A FIVE ROSE VILLAGE!
Darley has been awarded the maximum 5 Golden Roses in this year’s inaugural Golden Rose Competition organised by Yorkshire in Bloom.Town and village Parish Councils were invited to submit an entry to this new competition with judging criteria including facilities and community feel; excellence of horticultural displays; and cleanliness and freedom from litter.
The judge’s visit was unannounced, meaning there was no time for a special effort, so it is a true reflection of the village.Darley was praised for its good variety of facilities and its excellent community focus as illustrated on its website. Its flowerboxes and beds were said to be colourful and well-managed and the village was very clean and tidy.
Sue Welch, Chairman of the Parish Council said ‘We are delighted that the village has been recognised as a 5 star village. Darley in Bloom leads the way in making sure the village looks good, and the Parish Council and many other local community organisations play their part in providing facilities and in involving the whole village in a good range of events. Darley is lucky to be home to such an active and caring community.’
