Winners of Lyn in Bloom <strong>2019</strong><br />
The National Trust Arlington Court Judges said they were<br />
incredibly impressed with the quality <strong>and</strong> diversity of plants<br />
<strong>and</strong> displays in <strong>Lynton</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Lynmouth</strong>.<br />
They found choosing winners really difficult as it was all so good.<br />
BEST OVERALL WINNER – Captain’s House, <strong>Lynmouth</strong> A charming garden with bold colours.<br />
Great use of space <strong>and</strong> plant diversity. Every inch planted <strong>and</strong> looking beautiful. The whole<br />
area had great impact <strong>and</strong> drew you in for a closer look.<br />
A special thank you to Josie Parker for allowing us to use one of her beautiful photos on the<br />
front cover.<br />
RUNNER UP - Lee House, Lee Road Beautiful subtle but effective colours, well co-ordinated.<br />
Lovely urn between windows. Excellent proportions, well cared for.<br />
SPECIAL COMMENDATION: Tracy Manning, Cross Street For charming display in a limited<br />
space. A nice arrangement of pots <strong>and</strong> seating area, absolutely charming. Had gone over a<br />
little, but still showed great style.<br />
SPECIAL COMMENDATION: North Devon Hospice, Queen Street SO thrilled to see this<br />
unexpected gem! Well kept, great specimens, <strong>and</strong> a fantastic example of what can be<br />
done.<br />

Tree planting starts in preparation for North Devon Link<br />
Road improvements<br />
Planting of around 20,000 trees <strong>and</strong> shrubs got<br />
underway in September as part of advanced work<br />
being undertaken ahead of the start of the main<br />
improvements to the North Devon Link Road.<br />
The trees will be planted over a distance of 10km<br />
between Filleigh <strong>and</strong> Portmore where work on<br />
widening the A361 is due to start in 2021.<br />
As the scheme progresses further, environmental compensation will be carried out to enable<br />
the scheme to achieve biodiversity net gain. The planting at the side of the road will help<br />
establish ecological habitats ahead of the Link Road being widened, <strong>and</strong> it will also screen the<br />
road from surrounding areas. A planning application has been submitted for proposed<br />
improvements at Bishop’s Tawton roundabout. Bishop’s Tawton is one of seven junctions<br />
planned to be improved as part of the multi-million scheme to upgrade the A361 North Devon<br />
Link Road between South Molton <strong>and</strong> Bideford. A planning application is also expected to be<br />
submitted later this year for a pedestrian <strong>and</strong> cycle bridge at the proposed L<strong>and</strong>key<br />
roundabout.<br />
