Chairman of Chorley in Bloom Iris Smith said: "We planted a small community orchard at Cotswold House with 10 mixed fruit trees donated by the Mayoress and her husband Paul.

"The Mayor and volunteers from the Scouts and Chorley in Bloom helped with the planting."

She added: "We were extremely lucky with the weather. We had the work we did inspected every now and again by Tinker the dog who seemed to approve our work and kept us all amused.
