We also supported the planting of the St Giles’ Church flower beds, two flower beds in the Valley Gardens, two in Pontefract Park and the new installation of four old row boats at the lakeside in Pontefract Park. First Impressions Nurseries, Ackworth have planted the planters and are providing the watering services for the summer season. First Impressions Nurseries have also provided 45 hanging baskets for Town Centre businesses. The flower beds are all planted and maintained by volunteers; a collaboration of Pontefract in Bloom with the Friends of Pontefract Park, Friends of Friarwood Valley Gardens and St Giles’ Church. More than 5,000 plants were required for these displays, at a cost of £5,000 for plants, planting, and watering services. Pontefract in Bloom is supported by Wakefield Council’s Neighbourhood Improvement Fund, Wakefield District Housing and 49 sponsors: businesses, individuals, and families. The lakeside boats are a new initiative, and thanks for Wakefield Council Street Scene Services for providing the old row boats and installing them. We planted them with busy lizzies and geraniums which have given an impressive display, although we hadn’t anticipated that the ducks and geese would find the busy lizzies tasty, and we will have to be more selective with planting in future. Thank you to all our supporters and sponsors. 6 COMMUNITY Pontefract in Bloom 2021 Sponsors Ropergate Switalskis Solicitors Limited Metro Ropergate Dental Care Electroysis Clinic Boutique 38 Abson Blaza Property Services Coffee Lounge Liquorice Way Pomfret Gallery Taylored Holmes Front Street The Solicitors’ Chambers Mane Hairdressing Pig and Sally Official Frenchic Paint Kendal Estate Agents Stockists (Magistrates Market) Green Dragon Cornmarket Townends Accountants Suzi’s Boutique Martin and Co Estate Agents Beastfair Woods Solicitors Southgate The Play Den Market Place The Blind Pig Newgate Oakworth Consultancy Pickerings of Pontefract Robinson St. Vaux Brothers (Grain and Feed) Gillygate Hartley and Worstenholme Horsefair Knights of Pontefract Barkers Fencing Giles Boothroyd Michelle’s Flowers Ground Maintenance Farmer Copleys DeLacy Lodge Freemasons Pontefract Library St Marys Community Centre Pontefract Pontefract Town Hall Market Hall Pontefract Rotary Club Pontefract St Giles Church Lioness Club Pontefract Civic Society Liquorice Singers Royal British Legion Friends of Pontefract Park Macklam/ Pontefract Choral Society McGuckin family Pomfretian Friends of Friarwood Valley Gardens Pauline West Irene and Brian Holmes Madge Beaumont The Henfrey Family Elma Mangnall Pontefract in Bloom is also supported by grants from Wakefield District Housing and Wakefield Council’s Neighbourhood Improvement Fund and Local Capital Fund.

Fighting to keep Pontefract services Concerned at the threat to hospi- tal services in Pontefract from the ever-dwindling plan for a new PFI hospital with even fewer beds and services, our branch has worked hard to sound the alarm and inform local people. We submitted a detailed branch response to the most recent PFI pro- posals – which have subsequently been further postponed, with no fur- ther developments expected until at least the end of February. We also worked with Wakefield District Trade Council to build a Defend Our Public Services public meeting at Pontefract Town Hall, from which a local Keep Our Health Services Public campaign group was formed. A handful of activists within the group distributed 10,000 leaflets in Pontefract over a 6 week period and a respectable march and rally of a couple of hundred (right and inside, page 5) was organised, gaining good media coverage.
