Floral displays earned awards at the Arun in Bloom and Arun Towns in Bloom competitions this year.

The winners were honoured at an award ceremony in Littlehampton Civic Centre, hosted by Arun's chairman Councillor Dr James Walsh.

The Arun in Bloom competition began in 1987 and invites all town and parish councils to nominate two private and two commercial premises which make a floral impact in the area.

The Towns in Bloom competition was launched in 1983 with a view to encouraging members of the district's chamber of commerce to brighten up shopping areas during the summer.

The Arun in Bloom large commercial frontage class was won by Woodlands Guest House in Bognor while the best small commercial frontage was Willow Rise Bed and Breakfast in Bersted.

The large private garden award went to 55 Church Road, Rustington, and the small private garden award to 65 Wick Farm Road, Littlehampton.

The Arun Towns in Bloom winner was Woodlands Guest House.
