In September 2016 we presented a cheque for £1,500 to Roger Parkinson (seen receiving the cheque) in respect of the Carr Lodge Park bench project.
Roger has added the following Thanks and Information:
"Thank you to Horbury and Ossett Pheonix Rotary Club who today presented a cheque to us to produce 10 new benches for Horbury Carr Lodge Park. (Photos attached with a sample of the design to be used)
The new benches will be made over the next few months ready to be placed in the Park in early 2017 by Wakefield Street Scene Dept.
The funding allows us to purchase the materials and engage service users from the Day Opportunities Team during the Autumn-Winter period at The Rose Garden Nursery, Thornes Park.
This adds another activity to the range we are able to provide during the year and provides much needed benches for Carr Lodge Park. We have restored nearly 100 benches for Wakefield's Parks over the last four years but these will be made of all new parts...Made in Wakefield’
