Langlees man Andrew Stone and Thomas Williamson, of Bonnybridge, both took home the Clean and Tidy title. Elsewhere, residents of Broad Street in Denny were crowned as the winners of Best Communal Garden.

To add to their delight, each winner received a £50 gift voucher from Torwood Garden Centre, which also sponsored the competition. The ceremony was also used as an opportunity to show volunteers just how much their efforts are appreciated. Certificates were handed over to all registered tenants’ and residents’ associations and sub groups in the area.
