BRADING residents and businesses have been recognised for their efforts in making the town bloom.

Brading Residents' Association held a Brading in Bloom competition and had a fantastic response, including entries from Brading Primary School, Brading Youth and Community Centre, and Brading Methodist Church.

Sue Birch, chair of the residents' association, thanked everyone who took part at a recent prizegiving.
