ORGANISERS behind a competition to brighten up Colne have renewed their call for volunteers to join their ranks.

Colne In Bloom is the group behind the drive to make the town a nicer place by tidying grot spots and planting flowers.

The group is once again entering the large town category of the North West in Bloom competition and this year's theme will be red, white and blue marking the Queen's 80th birthday and the England football team's world cup bid.

Anyone wanting to help should contact 01282 661236 or 01282 859025 or email derek.gascoigne@pendle.gov.uk
