Foxwood Park looking good in summer sun

Fox wood park May 2015

The improvements undertaken by volunteers last year to the Foxwood Park area are now more apparent as the area is bathed in the summer sun.

Members of the residents association have worked hard to clear undergrowth and install new seats. Local children made plaques for the railings

Its disappointing that the new (somewhat confused) York Council web site doesn’t even list the park as an open space

Residents from across the City will be able to see the progress made when the Foxwood Park Country Fair takes place next Saturday

Acomb Fair success

Acomb Fayre Aug 2014

Hundreds of local people were able to enjoy the Acomb Green fair yesterday with falconry displays, stalls, and dog competitions.

Fortunately the rain which had stopped previous events on the Green held off for most of the afternoon.

Well done to the Friends of Acomb Green for putting on the event which draws together people in Acomb to see the beauty of what is on their doostep, and there were even the lovely church bells from St Stephen’s to enjoy with the live music that was being performed by local artists (young and old).
