It’s just great to see people getting together and enjoying taking care of the village. The boys know what a weed is now and know they can just pull them out when they are passing!

Calling all scrubbers and strippers!
(We hope that got your attention!)
Newtongrange Welfare Park will be 100 years old in September this year. In preparation of the celebrations, Newtongrange Community Council has agreed to coordinate the scrubbing, stripping and repainting of the park railings.
There is around 600m of railings and this is a major task, so we need your help.
Volunteers will be gathering at Newtongrange Welfare Park on Saturday 7th March at 9:30am to begin work.
All are welcome to come and help. Paint and equipment will be supplied, you just need to bring a little elbow grease!
On another note, donations of some paint, equipment and protective clothing have already been received (thank you!) but much more is required.
If you are a local business or resident and are able to make a donation to help us purchase more, please contact the Newtongrange Community Council via email secretary@newtongrange.org
