Halstead Town Council

The present Halstead in Bloom was formed in 1999 with the aim of clearing, cleaning and brightening Halstead for the benefit of residents, those who work in the Town and our many visitors.

We are a team of volunteers, and we have formed a strong partnership with Essex County Council, Braintree District Council and Halstead Town Council and this close co-operation has given the Town success in the Anglia in Bloom competition.

In 2004, 2005, 2006,2007 and 2008 Halstead was been awarded Silver-Gilt status being judged against other communities across the six counties of the East.  In 2009 and 2010 Halstead attained a Gold award, and was also judged Best Town.
GOOD  NEWS!  In Anglia in Bloom 2011 Halstead was again awarded GOLD and was also judged Best Town.  on 25th September 2011 Halstead was awarded a GOLD certificate in the RHS Britain in Bloom 2011 campaign.  Of the 9 finalists in the 'Town' category 4 gold awards were given and the judges were very complimentary about Halstead's efforts. 
Halstead was one of three nominations for the Community Award and Adams Court was given an award in the RHS It's Your Neighbourhood National Certificates of Distinction section.
