The entrance to Holbeach is looking a whole lot smarter thanks to a bit of teamwork.

Holbeach in Bloom, Lincolnshire county councillor Nick Worth and a local artist have worked together to get the sign on the beacon at Wignal’s Gate repainted.

Coun Worth said: “I was approached by Holbeach in Bloom who wanted to get the sign smartened up before the Britain in Bloom judges come to the town later in the year.

“I spoke to a local artist, who wishes to remain anonymous, who offered their services for free.

“The sign features the South Holland District Council coat of arms on one side and the Holbeach Parish Council’s on the other.

“The artist did a brilliant job and the sign looks great again.”

Coun Worth said there is a little bit of painting to be done on the tulip sculpture which also sits on the green and it will look much better.

He added: “Hopefully it will go a little way towards impressing those judges!”
