East Lothian Winners at Beautiful Scotland Awards

That the Parliament congratulates Gifford Community, North Berwick in Bloom, Blooming Haddington and Aberlady in Bloom on being recognised by the environmental charity Keep Scotland Beautiful at the Beautiful Scotland awards ceremony; applauds East Lothian Council on winning the Royal Caledonian Horticultural Society Award at the same event; recognises the strong history of community gardening across East Lothian; notes the value of caring for town centres and creating green spaces for people to enjoy, and applauds the efforts of the many local authority staff and dedicated volunteers who undertake the work, which it believes has been so deservedly recognised.
