Community group Blooming Belters disbanded in April, after more than five years committed to decorating the town with baskets and planters of flowers. Funding has now been secured to allow the group to continue thanks to Susan and George Thomson, who have always been a key part of Blooming Belters, and Tranent and Elphinstone Community Council (TECC). However, there are still not enough volunteers for the summer planting around Civic Square and Winton Place to go ahead.
