Louise Lucas, Cadet Co-ordinator, said: “The Cadets used their last meeting before the summer break to help Chorley in Bloom.

“They have all worked tirelessly with Iris and other community members, including the Sisters of Latter-day Saints and local businesses who have kindly provided plants, landscaping and a sign.”

In recognition of their good work, the Cadets were treated to a well-deserved pizza after.

Chief Inspector Chris Abbott and lead for cadets said: “All our cadets work extremely hard and this is just one of the ways they have been working with the local community.  It certainly brightens up Chorley Police Station. We wish them the best of luck in the judging.”
