Thousands of daffodils and crocuses are to be planted in Seaton.

The parish council has arranged for the bulbs to be planted on the cycletrack banking near the village's shops.

Paul Bramley, town clerk, said: "Funding from Allerdale has enabled the parish council to arrange for the planting of 3,000 daffodil bulbs and 3,000 crocus bulbs.

"This will be augmented by snowdrops and summer flowers later in the year.

"The council hopes this will make a colourful centrepiece for the village during the spring and summer months."
