Play equipment for younger chldren

: play train

Plans are now well advanced to provide a new piece of play equipment on The Green aimed at younger children. It is likely to be a wooden train with a slide built into the embankment and a spring animal with “safamat” surfacing.

A similar piece of equipment will be provided at the Foxwood Lane playground.

The improvements form part of a Ward Committee funded long term programme which will see all play equipment in the area modernised.

Free Compost from the Council

The free compost giveaways will be going ahead again this year, in partnership with Yorwaste Ltd. There will be a giveaway on the 1st Sunday in every month between March and October. Please see the dates below:

Sunday 6th March

Sunday 3rd April

Sunday 1st May

Sunday 5th June

Sunday 3rd July

Sunday 7th August

Sunday 4th September

Sunday 2nd October

Compost can be collected from Harewood Whin, Tinker Lane (off Wetherby Road) from between 9.30am and 2.30pm. Residents must bring along a suitable bag or container to put the soil improver into and a shovel, as the compost is not bagged. We are advising people to visit the site as early as possible as there is a limited quantity of compost and it will go on a first come, first served basis.

We are hoping that the giveaways will be as popular as last year when we estimate that we gave away over 1,600 tonnes of compost. This year we are also starting the giveaways earlier in the year due to popular demand.
