Floral displays
Flintshire County Council takes responsibility for many of the colourful flower beds and planters in Mold and the grass cutting on the highways in and around the Town.
The number of hanging baskets in Mold Town Centre, provided and maintained by the Town Council, has again increased with 71 this year (2009) located around the Town Centre. There are new baskets in the Daniel Owen Precinct, High Street and the passageway leading to the Somerfield Store off New Street. There are also six barrier baskets in King Street, and our thanks again go to Mr & Mrs Wright of Gwernaffield Road who have planted them for the Town Council. The number of baskets has increased each year to the current level and the Town Council intends to continue with this programme of improvement next year.
Best Kept Town in Flintshire
As a result of the hard work of Mold Town Council and Flintshire County Council, Mold came joint second in the category of the Best Kept Town Centre (with a population of over 5000) in the 2009 Flintshire County Council’s Environmental Awards.
