President Gwenda Lilley says, “The Royal Borough is a beautiful place to live, work and go to school and it’s amazing how people with such bright ideas can make them happen with a little help. I look forward to seeing many bright ideas this year.”
Speaking about this year’s competition, Gwenda added: “This year there is a youth category and I encourage all under-18s to tell us what they would like to see or introduce into the borough. There is a cash bonus for their school or youth group too if their bright idea is a winner.”
