ALSTOM and DF have planted the seeds of success by donating £500 towards Partington Parish Council’s entry into the RHS Tatton Flower Show.

The cheque was presented to Parish Council Chairman, James Clare.

Cllr Clare said “We have had great success with our flower bed entries and have won two silver and two gold medals in the past four years.

“This year our theme is bath time and without giving too much away, there will be floral tributes to rubber ducks. I am grateful to Alstom and DF for giving us this boost to our funds.”

The Flower Show takes place at Tatton Park on July 25-28.

Consortium leaders Alstom and their partners DF are building the 880MW gas-fired power station at Carrington.
