Trough Filled At Bernards’ Place

Earlier this afternoon, the large trough at Bernards’ Place was filled up with 4 tons of soil by village resident and Councillor, David Leader with the invaluable help of Daren and village residents Kyle, Morgan & Harry.  All the the soil was transferred from the top end of the park by the Comrades Hall where a big clearing project took place on July 26th.
They all gave their Sunday time voluntarily – many thanks to them all!

The trough is now awaiting the attention and care of village resident Ruth from Fullers to make it lush and pretty.

* Please also notice the new gate which was made and erected by Malcolm Heaver 🙂 *
