We have invested a total of £9.2m to support a variety of community projects and regeneration initiatives, to help make the area an even better place to live, work and enjoy. I would like to kick off with a project that is particularly close to my heart and something that we have been working on for a number of years. Station Park, the quirky new green space has breathed new life into a once overgrown and gloomy part of the district. It’s been a complete team effort as well, with local volunteers and Neil McArthur, HDT Chairman Pedal Away cycling group companies all going the extra mile, under the watchful eye of our fantastic artist Rachelle Cleary, with support from Mandy Eccles. Plans are progressing well with the Cadishead During the year, the fund helped another 14 volunteer base who are instrumental in a lot of our Viaduct project, which is now at the feasibility youngsters take a step in the right direction and we projects.
