Pergola repair on Bridgefoot
Late March 2025 saw Wetherby in Bloom overseeing the repair of the wooden pergola on Bridgefoot. Eight of the supporting posts were replaced by Copeland Fencing and we are grateful to Dickson Timber of Harrogate for donating the wood. Volunteers then gave the new wood a coat of wood preserver .
Seasonal Jobs
March 2025, the volunteers started again down at the Riverside car park. The first job was the clearing of all the debris which had been left after the Wharfe flooded over the winter - especially near the picnic benches at the bottom end where it was trapped in the railings. This was cleared into a heap and we are grateful to both Councillor Alan Lamb and LCC, who promptly got all the rubbish removed.
For the next few weeks we will be cutting back and tidying up.

Everything we do does make a BIG DIFFERENCE. If we do not get more volunteers the amount that we are able to do for the town will have to be scaled back. For details of how to become a volunteer Please ring either 01937 581234 or 01937 588397
