The Town Council is planning to get Maryport blooming in the summer with an entry to the Cumbria in Bloom competition entitled ‘Maryport Maritime in Bloom’.
Town councillors are working with others in the town to arrange flower displays around a maritime theme of purples, blues and whites.
Lakes College students have been commissioned to construct a display boat which will add to features already in the town. The Council is hoping to arrange for its display, enhanced by flowers, at the southern entrance to the town.
