Competition launched to beautify roundabouts

EFFORTS ARE UNDER WAY to get more people into the sponsorship and beautification of the island’s roundabouts.

The Barbados Horticultural Society (BHS) is hoping to kick-start the effort with its inaugural Roundabout Beautification Competition.

Speaking at this morning’s launch of competition, which culminates with judging between April 4 and 6, BHS president Orson Daisley said the competition will be broken down into four categories. First prize in each category is $4 000, with the second-placed winners taking $2 000.

There is a special desk in the Ministry of Transport and Works for the sponsorship of roundabouts, and people are encouraged to contact the desk for the relevant information.  (YB)
