Town Green Garden Update



Town Green Residents' Association were delighted when Christine Walkden - star of the BBCTwo series Christine's Garden - agreed to help transform a former wasteland of half bricks and rubble into a new village green.Christine spent a few hours with the group recently discussing their plans and suggesting ways of moving the project along.

The Residents' Group's plans for the area include

1. large areas of colourful planting
2. strategically appointed benches
3. play areas
4. an eye catching pagoda

Ann Rampling seen on the right in the picture said:

' This project started about 18 months ago and is quite ambitious because it could end up with £40.000 of planting and a pagoda. We want to use this area to create a village green that will help rebuild the community to how it was.'
