A BRIDPORT landmark is going green to acknowledge the work of a national healthcare charity.

The clock at Bridport Town Hall will be lit up green to show support for St John Ambulance and the work its teams have put in throughout the coronavirus pandemic.

Across the country more than 100 well-known buildings and landmarks will be lit up in green this evening (Thursday), in support of the national healthcare and first aid charity.

Bridport Town Council, which operates from the town hall, wants to show its support to the people of St John Ambulance as it continues to work on the NHS vaccination programme, respond to the pandemic and provide first aid training. The Order of St John flag is flown from the Town Hall flag pole.

Daryl Chambers, Bridport town surveyor, said: “Bridport Town Council has a close relationship with St John`s and they attend and support all the many events in the town. Many of our staff have also taken some of the numerous training courses St John`s offer. I look forward to working together and supporting each other in the future.”
