On a cold and sleety morning four parish councillors (Nicky Holyoake, Jim Gray, Nick Harding and Pauline Ridley) met up at the triangle at the top of The Street to strim the grass and plant a selection of spring bulbs. We will be carrying out more work over the next few months and adding more planting to improve the appearance of the triangle.
