Ross-ON-WYE received a boost in its quest to scoop the Britain In Bloom crown when a new web site was launched to generate more local involvement in the national competition.

Following last year's silver award, Ross in Bloom members are hopeful that the new website will give the town the extra edge to go one better.

Chairperson Lyn Tomlinson said: "By creating an impressive website with links to local business, we aim to get more corporate sponsorship and increase the number of blooms on display in the town. With the site working we hope to get more feedback from the townspeople and make garden features available to everyone."
