On Sunday 24th November the West Lancs Social Action Team tidied up a section of untidy land on Burscough's Station Approach near Tesco's. The project came from an initial suggestion from The Grove and Burscough East Councillor Ruth Melling. The team was made up of local West Lancs residents and Cllr Ruth Melling.
Cllr Ruth Melling said "The day was a great success. Thank you to everyone who took part. The bulbs we planted will look lovely in the spring. We spent time tidying up the front section of the land and planting bulbs. We would like to thank West Lancs Borough Council Parks and Rangers Team who supplied much of the equipment we used on the day."
Edward McCarthy Co-organiser and Knowsley Ward Borough Council Conservative candidate for 2014 said "It is amazing how a handful of people from the community pulling together for 2 hours can improve an area for the whole community. Well done and thank you to all who helped. We also planted bulbs in Ormskirk and Bickerstaffe today."
There will be further work on this land in Burscough and future events organised by the West Lancs Social Action team in other parts of West Lancashire. Please call Edward on 07971 299606 to get involved or email [email protected]
