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 🙂 *

A Great Big Thank You!

A great big thank you to all the wonderful people who gave up their Sunday morning to make a start on the tidy up of Bernards’ Place and the areas around the Comrades Hall. We thought we would end up with a few dumpy bags of waste but ended up with a skip load. It was a fantastic community effort. There are too many hardy soles to name everyone individually, a sincere thank you to you all.
All the play equipment is now open apart from the large swing which needs some further attention.
The baby swing has got to be removed as it does not meet current standards.
All the other equipment has had the work done to it rectify faults identified in the recent RoSPA report 🙂
There are lots of plans for Bernards’ Place and for the Comrades Hall being considered, as these plans develop we will share them with all of you for your thoughts.
With my sincere thanks

David Leader
