Park plans

DUNWOOD Park in Shaw is set for refurbishment of the infrastructure and bowling pavilion, as well as demolition and rebuilding of an extended gardeners’ building, after parish councillors approved the plans.

But councillors recommended for refusal the remodelling of an existing house in Hillside Avenue, Shaw, including two underground garages, on grounds of its size.

The Salvation Army in Shaw would like to express their sincere thanks to Roytonians who donated £191 in loose change at their collection day last Saturday. The cash will go towards their ongoing work in the community.
