* Town councillors Sheena Grindley and
Austin Cheminais give some attention to one of the planters.
A group of local councillors have been helping to make the town centre look a little more colourful
Because of lockdown Derwen College students, who usually take care of the planters and troughs in and around Castle Street, couldn’t to do their
usual summer planting.
Town councillor Austin Cheminais, who is also the town crier, explained: "We
noticed a few weeks ago that they were looking pretty neglected and needed some
attention.
"Derwen
College were able to supply some plants but as it is not fully operative couldn’t plant them.
"Myself and my wife Jane along with my fellow town councillors Sheena Grindley and our newly
co-opted member John Palmer took on the task and were out over a couple of days.
"Hopefully, the planting should provide an attractive display well into next year."
He added: "It’s
been a very pleasant couple of days chatting and catching up with friends and
local residents some of whom we’ve not seen since lockdown
started way back in March.
"Both
residents and tourists alike were pleased to see the planters and troughs
getting some attention."
