Mablethorpe in Bloom
In 2008, for the first time, Mablethorpe entered the national "In Bloom" competition with the support of East Lindsey District Council, the Town Council, Neighbourhood Management Project and many other organisations. Why did we do it? Because we thought it would be an excellent way to bring people together to improve the look of our town - and what a success it has been.
Mablethorpe has successfully won Silver in 2009 and 2010 and best Coastal Town in 2010.
