The beauty spot – located down an alleyway off Newgate Street, near the Old Bakehouse Tea Rooms – is run by a registered charity consisting of 10 trustees and many of the trustees came together for a celebration photo.

The Millennium Green was created from wasteland by local residents in the year 2000.

It provides colour and interest throughout the year and a safe haven for both people and wildlife close to the town centre.
