The town was awarded the highest recognition at the awards ceremony on Wednesday 20th September.
Pat Cook, chair of Loughborough in Bloom said: “We are delighted to have received the highest honour once again in the East Midlands in Bloom judging.
“A lot of hard work goes into our open spaces and I feel like this award is well and truly deserved.
