STREET
SCENE INITIATIVE UNDER WAY IN WHINFIELD |
Because
of cuts in finances forced on local authorities, and a desire to try to
maintain services wherever possible, Darlington Borough Council is
promoting a scheme to encourage residents to be involved in helping to
keep our streets, paths and open areas clean and tidy and free from
litter. The Street Scene
Initiative has already
been launched in Whinfield and a number of local people are now giving
a little of their time and effort to volunteer to periodically pick up
litter in 8 areas of the Ward. All of the equipment required and
relevant information is supplied, including a system for having the
bags of litter removed afterwards.
If
you are interesting in joining this band of volunteers to carry out
such work for the benefit of the community where you live, please
contact our 2 ward councillors with your details:
Cllr.
Helen Crumbie tel: 462642 helen.crumbie@darlington.gov.uk
Cllr. Tom Nutt tel: 360953 thomas.nutt@darlington.gov.uk |
Following
ongoing problems with anti-social driving in Whinfield, it is planned
to hold several SPEED
WATCH events over the
coming months. Residents who wish to take part in these must contact
one of our two Ward Councillors to register interest:

IMPROVEMENTS
IN SPRINGFIELD PARK AT LAST |
December
2017
After
months of pressure from WRA members some welcome improvements are being
made to the facilities in Springfield Park.
The
missing goalposts have been replaced and the football pitch has been
marked out. A WRA spokesperson, who has pushed for repairs to be
carried out in the Park, said: "All
it needs now is for the teams to put the pitch to good use by returning
to play here as they used to do before."
They
went on to explain that Darlington Borough Council is carrying out
other necessary works, too: "DBC
is arranging for the fence around the play area to be looked at and the
'no dogs' sign to be replaced. They have also organised the re-laying
of the surface of the play area because it was becoming a trip hazard
as it peeled away. This is all great news for residents who wish to use
these very important facilities." |
