The first site earmarked for improvement from a new gardening and floral display group has been announced.

The Epping in Bloom group has selected the green in Tower Road, Epping, as the first site for new plants and maintenance.

Volunteers have been invited to take part in a planting session on Sunday May 31 from 10am.

The group was formed in March with funding from the town council, with the aim to brighten parts of the town centre with new displays and floral competitions.
