After 5 years as the Town Council’s Outdoor Maintenance Operative, Don Astley has decided to hang up his trowel and watering can and take a well-earned retirement!
Don has always provided a high quality of service and the flowers and plants around the town, including the recently acquired ‘Brief Encounter II’ at Crag Bank, have always brought a sense of pride to the local community and joy to visitors to the town.
Don will be succeeded by Terry Allum, who lives in Crag Bank, and has a wealth of landscaping and gardening experience behind him.
We look forward to Terry starting on 27th August and we wish Don a long and happy retirement!
