Middleton Community Association is calling on locals and visitors to help keep its newly replanted street pots hydrated over summer.

The 22 half wine barrels brighten up the main drag of the south coast town and a working bee of gardeners gave their time to refresh the pots last Friday 3 October.

With rain again elusive volunteers are needed to water the plants and ensure they keep blooming through the warmer weather.

All contributions are welcome, either regularly or as a one-off between now and the end of March – send an email to advise availability.
