A cold but beautifully sunny day allowed us to get lots of work done, although one of the main jobs of clearing leaves from the ornamental flower beds was a bit of a never-ending task. As well as battling with leaves there was lots of pruning in the beds and planting of winter flowering pansies and other plants donated by the public.
Another bench success story was completed too, with the refurbishment of one of the Co-Op entrance benches that has been sponsored by Costa Coffee. New hardwood slats and a commemorative plaque was fitted, and a big thank you to Costa Coffee for their support. The only trouble is that the other bench next to it that we refurbished with second hand slats now looks a bit shabby, so we are going to try and find a sponsor for that one too.
In addition to these main tasks, the last of the soil was transferred to the Jubilee Bed and some paving slabs were cut for the new commemorative bench that has replaced an old one opposite the Senior Citizens' Hall.
