We went to the presentations in Gateshead on 8th September 2008.

We are absolutely thrilled with the results on our first year of entry.

The ward got a Silver award

Fairy Dell got a Gold award

Front gardens two got Gold

One got Silver Gilt

This was a fantastic result so well done to everyone who made such a tremendous effort and especially all the Friends of Fairy Dell.

 The residents of Marton West Ward in Middlesbrough have worked really hard creating beautiful floral displays and keeping the ward clean and tidy.   We all recycle green waste, which goes to Haverton Hill and we can then go and collect free compost.

We recycle glass, tins and paper and have a vast amount of charities wanting clothing, mobile phones and ink cartridges and we certainly do our best to recycle as much as possible.  Most of us have compost bins.
