Friends of Stanhope Park

Six of us had a very effective action day in Stanhope Park yesterday afternoon. We weeded the flower beds, deadheaded flowers, removed thistles, scrubbed down the notice board, picked litter and cleaned the areas around and under four of the benches! Thanks to those who came along!

If you'd be interested in joining our action days but always miss it, please put it in your diary/calendar now. It'll be the first Sunday in September i.e. Sunday 6th September, 2-4pm, when we'll be planting up the newly dug border along the west side of the Tennis court. (It's always the first Sunday of every month, at the same time.) See you next then?

We're not far from Darlington town centre, so thought we'd make people aware of this council survey about it, in case you want to give your views. Pass it on!

What do you think of Darlington town centre?

As part of the refresh of the council’s town centre strategy, we are keen to hear your views.

This is your chance to have your say on your town centre.

We want to know what’s important to you and what isn’t; as well as understanding how you would like to use your town centre, be it for work, leisure, education, or socialising.

This is a unique and rare opportunity to get involved and shape how your town centre will look, feel, and be used for many years to come.

Please visit https://www.darlington.gov.uk/consultations/town-centre-strategy to find out more and complete our survey.

Thank you for taking part.

We have cancelled the action day today (Sunday 3rd May) as it is too wet.

Its our AGM, followed by a talk about the Backhouses of West Lodge
