VOLUNTEERS HELP TO TIDY UP THE CANAL BANK

Monday 14 November 2011


 
One of the newest Droylsden volunteer groups - formed last year with the help of your Labour team - was the "friends of Droylsden canal"

Although the canal through our town is supposed to be maintained and improved by British Waterways, with a clear schedule of activity, over the years this has not happened.

Residents who live nearby were no longer prepared to sit back and do nothing and agreed, following a public meeting, to set up this volunteer group.

Councillors Kieran & Susan Quinn have lent a helping hand and as Kieran said " Given the current financial situation many more of these groups will be needed to keep our area pleasant; so I thank everyone who has helped and ask anyone who lives nearby to join in and help."

If you want to help out ring one of your Labour team and we will pass on your details etc.
