Greenmount Village Community

We have received an email from Kim Griffiths who is our Neighbourhood Engagement Officer at Bury Council.

Tottington and Bury West Rotary together with partners (Council/ Martin Proffit/ Tottington Primary school / Rev Hugh Bearn and others) are working on plans to renovate and improve Whitehead Gardens opposite St Anne’s Church  in Tottington.

As part of the process, and before applying for funding to do work, they need to get the views and ideas of local people ( “needs” assessment) They have a consultation open on One Community at the moment:

https://www.onecommunitybury.co.uk/whitehead-gardens-tottington-restoration-project

In addition they will be putting paper copies of the consultation (attached) in various locations around Tottington and the local area. These include the churches and the Tottington Centre.

I would be grateful if you could take time to give some thought to the project and make known any ideas that you may have, but also to circulate to your own networks, assist with mentions on social media, at meetings etc

The consultation closes on 26^th April

There will be a charity performance of “Hangmen” at the Theatre Royal in Ramsbottom on the 13th March.
Get your tickets ASAP

The concern is it will be slippery underfoot, wet and miserable and not suited to felling. Also handling wet cold wood is not fun! Thanks!

We have added some more really great events to our what’s on section for the next few weeks. Come and take a look!

The 2020 Village Party will be 1pm to 4pm on Friday 8^th May to coincide with VE Day Celebrations.

We are considering a Military theme and looking for ideas.

As usual we will have a fair, lots of stall on the Village Green and lots of activities as usual at the Church, Old School and the Cricket Club.

If you would like a stall, want any more information or wish to put your name forward to help, then please contact the event organiser at [email protected]

We have uploaded lots of new events to our what’s on section recently, have a poke around and see what catches your eye!
