We’re excited to announce the start of our Purley in Bloom project and Purley BID is looking for your help.
What is Purley in Bloom?
We have a goal of entering Purley into the London in Bloom competition.
As a result, we are looking to transform the appearance of Purley through community participation and caring for our environment.
So we have set up a group called “Purley in Bloom” which will be a collaboration of all the groups and individuals taking part.
Purley BID attended training about the competition requirements from London in Bloom and believe it is certainly in Purley’s grasp to achieve.
Kick starting Purley in Bloom
A site visit and report has already been completed by the Chairman of London in Bloom, who is so enthusiastic and eager to see Purley transformed that they are helping to kick start the project and have already given some great advice.
We have already partnered with TFL and Network Rail to achieve this goal as well as some of our business partners in town. However, we are looking for everyone to join in.
Initially on 19 June 2021, from 10am to 12pm, we’re looking for volunteers to join us to start to clear the green spaces near the Tesco underpass.
Purley in Bloom plan
Moving forward we’re looking for volunteers, whatever your age, and whether you’re from a group, school, club, shop, church group, organisation, family or individual. Whether you’re a keen gardener or complete beginner or even to do the organisation and administration, there is a role for everyone.
This is a 5-year project and we are starting with manageable steps and a credible plan to make this work.
The benefits are numerous, including
- Cleaner and greener surroundings
- Strengthening our community through improvements
- An increase in civic pride and sense of community empowerment
- Safer environments for us all to enjoy
- Long term improvements for the environment
- Reduction in anti-social behaviour
- Creating a Positive effect on the local economy
- Regeneration of run-down areas
