Improvements on Skircoat Road : Wed Apr 23, 2014 9:16 pm  

Got to say a well done to whoever it was who has done the improvements to the fencing along the Skircoat Road side of the Shay, was it some work experience organisation or somebody else in partnership with the Council I can't remember?
Anyway it looks much better.

The work has been organised, and much of it undertaken by the Halifax Rotary Club, who now meet at The Shay.
Financial support has been received from the Community Foundation for Calderdale.
Labour, and expertise, has come from Calderdale Council's staff based at Manor Heath and Shibden Park, the Community Pay back team, Calderdale College, Halifax Calder Rotary Club and volunteers from Barclays Bank and elsewhere (apologies to any I have overlooked).
There will be further plantings when the weather conditions are appropriate, intended to create an attractive gateway to Halifax.
