A Rotary spokesperson said: “Rotary worldwide has been at the forefront of the fight to rid the world of the scourge of Polio, and in Leighton Linslade we are proud to do our bit.

"Every purple crocus planted helps the fight but just as importantly brings a splash of spring colour as we exit winter.
