COUNCIL chiefs and the Winchester BID are working together to brighten up the city’s floral displays.

They have ordered 300 hanging baskets with the aim of selling them to the business community.

The displays cost £48.50 each, and the price includes watering throughout the hot summer months.

The baskets will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. Call the council on 01962 848533 or e-mail environment@winchester.gov.uk to order the floral displays.
