WELCOME TO OUR WEBSITE CROESO I’N GWEFAN
TIDYING UP GRESFORD AND MARFORD Have you noticed the clear-up that Image has tackled around the Post Office area and along the main road as far as the bus stop at the end of Narrow Lane – and then in front of the cycle shop, including that bus stop? Well, you may or may not have done – but believe us when we say we have removed over 30 bin-bags of weeds and rubbish from the above areas alone. There are lots more areas to tackle, but little by little we are trying to get this village looking better. But there are very few of us – 7 turned out last time. We really need your help. Either to join us on our Tidy-Up Sundays or to tackle the areas outside your own homes – just by weeding the area where your boundary line meet the pavement, or maybe a few yards either side, you can help make a real difference. We know that no-one used to have to do it, but let’s face it in the current financial climate the Council are not going to be tackling weeds (although they are being good about taking the rubbish bags away when we have filled them up). Our next Tidy-Up Day will be: If you want to come and lend a hand, even if you can only spare an hour, then please either meet outside the Post Office at 10.00 am on that day, or phone Barbara Watson on 077 409 41263 to find out more. |
PHOTOS NEEDED FOR GRESFORD and MARFORD CALENDAR 2015 Image are hoping to produce a village calendar again, for 2015. All proceeds from the sale of the calendars will go towards the Village Improvements Project. We really need your help. We need you to lend us photographs of ‘old’ Gresford and Marford, which we can reproduce for the calendar. So if you have any photos that you think would be useful, please just get in touch. The calendar will need to be put into production by about the end of September, so please don’t leave it too long! Please get in touch – in the first instance – with Barbara Watson on 077 40941263 or email barbingledene@gmail.com. |

Good news for Gresford Village!
Last week we heard that IMAGE has been successful in its application to Northern Marches Heritage and Culture Grant Scheme. We have been granted £7500. With this funding (which is increasingly hard to come by), the Victorian drinking fountain at the Old Wrexham Road/ Chester Road junction, will be renovated and its immediate surroundings considerably improved. This is the first available opportunity to realise a phase of the Gresford Village Development Plan. Gresford Community Council also granted £2,800 to IMAGE in order that this application could go ahead. It is hoped that this will be completed by June of this year.
