Kingston in Bloom is back, a year after the Surrey Comet and supporters kept it alive following council cuts.

Tolworth resident Sarah Partridge-Finucane, who runs a publishing firm, will run the competition this year.

The competition has six categories: best front garden, best blooming pub, best community space or street, best public building and business premises, best education establishment display and best hanging baskets and containers.

One of the awards will still be named the Mary Rollinson award in honour of Graham Rollinson’s wife.

Mr Rollinson said: “I am glad the award is going to be kept. My late wife was known by so many people in Tolworth.”
