James Baker for Warley Ward

If you have been out and about around Ashville Garden you may have noticed some trees have been springing up!
I’ve been out joining up with Halifax in Bloom to lend a hand planting some community orchards.

Warley Ward Councillor Keith Hutson is chair of Halifax in Bloom, and he invited me along to the day. He didn’t warn me however we would be out in sleet and snow.

Once the trees have developed the fruit will be available for everyone to enjoy. It should also add to the biodiversity of the area, and provide some fantastic blossom in the spring time.

There are a few more trees being planted around the ward, and in local schools. Hopefully we can all raise some more funds and get planting with even more trees next year.

Local Lib Dem councillors are working with the Steering Committee at Halifax High School to try to obtain funding for a new Community Building at the Commander’s House on the school site. This building would be available to all local people for a variety of purposes, including skills and vocational training.

Lib Dem Cllr Ashley Evans is a Governor at the school and says “If the committee is successful in pulling this off, the facility will be of immense benefit, and Keith and I are right behind it”. Keith Hutson is a member of the Steering Committee.
