Felling Park Makeover

The Felling Park, once famous for its magnificent flower beds has, for the last few years, fell foul of Government cut backs, much to the dismay of many of the town's residents. The commemoration of the First World War outbreak, being organised by The Felling Heritage Group, has a plan to have a banner march, terminating in Felling Park. Accordingly, it has organised for the park to be returned to some of its former glory using its own members and school children from local schools who are participating in the parade.
The story of the makeover may be found here
<Here's a compilation of photos shared by those participating and/or attending in the Commemoration

Here's one thread, started by Brian May, of many on the Felling Past and Present Facebook page concerning the Felling Park makeover

Passed Felling Park tonight, there are the beginnings of flower beds!!!

Jon Bratton They acquired the flowers for us at discounted cost and in fairness they did the planting so far and will continue to lend their expertise. School kids are involved in weeding, tidying up etc. It's the community helping itself with some expertise provided by skilled Council workers

Jon Bratton No, Margaret only wanted to mock me for missing out on the photo opportunity but as you know I'm a shrinking violet who does not seek the limelight. (note to self: email the Chronicle to see if they can photoshop me in) x
