We hosted a lamp lighting ceremony to
commemorate the 80thanniversary of the D

In December we held our usual pensioners
tea which is completely free as it is funded
by our volunteers. Children from the local

the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.|Para 1.20|That our group is still going strong after 10
years together and still committed to making
the park as good as it can be is an
achievement in itself.
Completing the work on the pond so we now
have a fully functioning pump and filter
system and working fountain. The pond is an
iconic feature and youngsters especially love
to see the fish that now thrive in the pond.
Resurfacing the main paths so they are now
much safer to walk on.
When the group first got together it was in
response to the neglect, anti-social
behaviour and drug use in the park which
was worrying local residents. People didn’t
feel safe but this is no longer the case and it
is a pleasure to visit.
We have been awarded a Green Flag again.

improvements in the future.| |Details of fund materially in
