Good Evening
Diane Gaunt from the Porch Boxes organisation has asked me to circulate this letter of thanks for all the donations and support received throughout 2020.
And also a reminder, Porch Boxes have a wheelie bin collection point (for food only) in the garden of 31 Greenheys Crescent, Greenmount.
Thank you for supporting this worthy cause, especially thorough these troubling times.

Dear All,
Please find attached the latest addition of the Jigsaws available to buy
from the collection at Greenmount Old School. There are new puzzles
available, now reaching 148, and still more to come.
During this lockdown period, the Jigsaw Library is becoming quite popular
as residents can enjoy a cosy afternoon in the warmth of their own homes.
Should you wish to purchase a puzzle for just £2 please contact Anke by
email or phone and she is happy to deliver your requested puzzle. Should you
want more afterwards, it will only cost £1 and Anke will collect your old
one and deliver a new one, if you wish to return it.
Please contact:
Anke Harris [email protected]
Mobile: 07825 016950
Best Wishes,

Good Afternoon
I’m Rochelle, the Community Champion at Morrisons Whitefield.
It’s my job to support good causes in our local community, including helping to stock local food banks, supporting key workers and the elderly and vulnerable. Due to Covid restrictions, we have been unable to run our normal school tours in store, however, we are delighted to let you know we have created a virtual Foodmaker & Shopkeeper Tour.
The virtual tour takes you around Market Street in one of our Morrisons stores including the Deli, Bakery, Fishmongers and Butchers counters. Along the way there are lots of fun and interesting facts to help children learn more about how food is made and where food comes from.
The link to the virtual tour can be found here: https://youtu.be/zqfOr7KpFc8
We have also created a worksheet with fun activities that children can complete during and after the video which I would be happy to share if you are interested.
Please feel free to get in touch if you have any questions or if there’s anything I can help you with. I hope you enjoy the virtual tour.

Dear All
Bury Council operates three Civic Venues (Elizabethan Suite, Longfield Suite and Ramsbottom Civic Hall) all of which operate at a loss, and are also in need of significant financial investment in future years. Following a meeting of the Council’s Cabinet on 24th November 2020, closure of all three venues is proposed as an option, on a permanent basis, in order to generate ongoing savings, and to avoid the cost of future capital investment.
It is to be noted that a decision has not yet been made, or been pre-determined, have your say on these proposals here.
