EVERYTHING'S coming up bloomin’ lovely in Brierley Hill at the moment as the town centre becomes transformed into a sea of colour.

It coincides with the second Brierley Hill in Bloom which has seen the area bedecked with flowers along the High Street and into Venture Way.

The arrival of blooms has been a community project which has been organised through Brierley Hill Civic Society and backed by the town's traders who have dug deep to sponsor many of the flower baskets on display.

Students from Birmingham Metropolitan College – based at the Venture Way campus – have also lent a hand by growing some of the plants themselves.

Ward councillor Rachel Harris said: “It's a really good example of the community getting together with local traders and association to make something good happen!”
