A WEBSITE celebrating a village's floral displays has won a prize from The Northern Echo.

The Communigate team has chosen the Lazenby Blooms site - at www.communigate.co.uk/ne/lazenbywilton - as its Pick of the Month for September.

The site was set up after a group of residents brightened up the village, near Middlesbrough, with hanging baskets and flower beds.

Website owner Ged Fleming displayed their efforts online and has won a digital camera, provided by Darlington-based sponsor Sales and Marketing Services.

Communigate web editor Andrew Hutton said: "We chose the site as it is one of the most recent additions to Communigate and has been developed quickly and accurately by Ged, in order to showcase the activities of the Lazenby flower team. It's a colourful and appealing little site.
