Statement by Mid and East Antrim Deputy Mayor Cllr Timothy Gaston:
“It is a great encouragement to see so many towns and villages across the Mid and East Antrim Borough perform so well in the Ulster in Bloom competition.
“Carrickfergus placed second in the Large Town category; Larne placed second in the Town category; Ahoghill was announced as winner on the Small Town category with Whitehead in second place; and finally Whitehead was winner in the Community Rail Halt category with Cullybackey in second place.
“That is a great showing!
“I am more than aware of all the hard work that goes in from volunteers across every community, and am sure each area is proud with these results.”
