Unfortunately the wet weather prevented us from doing any painting and we may have to finish the Infants Play Area next year now, unless we have some unexpectedly fine weather in October or November. However, we had a very good turnout of volunteers and a great deal of tidying up around the park was achieved, including the removal of brambles, ash tree saplings and ivy from the perimeter wall bordering the canal tow path. Other areas to benefit from our volunteers' efforts were the cinema flower bed and the beds and areas around the council offices.

In addition, on Sunday 30th, while the Jubilee Sculpture was being installed, a lot of work was done on the shrub bed bordering the Senior Citizens' Hall.
