2023 is no exception.

And unlike more prestigious places such as Salisbury which has become immersed in a political battle over what’s appropriate to boost tourism, Wisbech has remained strictly non political when it comes to the planting, display and creativity shown by a small army of volunteers.

“I did take some photos of things that were a little negative but won’t share them,” says Wisbech Tweet.

“It’s best to send those kinds of photos to someone you think can help – I can’t stand negativity about our town; we should celebrate the positives.”

And with that in mind CambsNews is delighted that Wisbech Tweet has agreed to allow us to share a ‘picture perfect’ photographic journey through the town.
