Never one to miss out on a pun, Milton Keynes and the towns it engulfed as part of its creation and expansion have won a number of awards at this year’s regional Britain in Bloom ceremony.
Milton Keynes which is of course not officially a city, or really very big, won the gold award in the Best Large City category. It also won an award “Best Treatment of Roadsides and Roundabouts”, which is perhaps not surprising, if only through strength in numbers alone.
Milton Keynes will now represent “the region” (although it’s never that clear which region we belong to) in the National Britain in Bloom awards. So even if “our” football team cant win anything, at least our vegetation can.
