🌸 Boston Town Centre is blooming again! 🌸

For the third year running, Boston’s town centre is bursting with colour thanks to the return of the refreshed planters! 🌼🌿

This beautiful transformation is a joint effort between Boston Borough Council, Lincolnshire Police, and HMP North Sea Camp, building on the previous years' success to enhance public spaces and boost community pride.

👷‍♂️ Prisoners from HMP North Sea Camp have refurbished and restored eight large planters over the winter, as well as maintaining the hanging baskets. This initiative forms part of a meaningful rehabilitation programme that promotes personal development while benefitting the local community.
