Tesco Bags of Help - vote for Mirfield Promenade!

Vote for Mirfield Promenade

Clean for the Queen - 5 March 2016

Clean for the Queen is an opportunity for all of Mirfield to be involved in a huge clean up of our tow paths.  This work will help towards the planned renovation and improvement of some sections.

We are hoping for many organisations, community groups and local folk to come together to clean up the tow paths and be sure that we can benefit from joint working.

The morning of  Saturday 5 March, at 10.00 has been set aside and the lead organising groups will be The Rotary Club of Mirfield, Mirfield Community Partnership, supported by Canal and Rivers Trust.  Please come along to Shepley Bridge Marina - and remember to wear sturdy shoes and bring your gloves!

Tesco's Bags of Help

Tesco has teamed up with Groundwork to launch its Bags of Help initiative across England and Wales.  The scheme will see three community groups and projects awarded grants of £12,000, £10,000 and £8,000 - all raised from the 5p bag charge.

Bags of Help offers community groups and projects in each of Tesco’s 390 regions across the UK a share of revenue generated from the five pence charge levied on single-use carrier bags. 

The public will now vote in store from 27 February until 6 March on who should receive the £12,000, £10,000 and £8,000 awards.

Mirfield Promenade in the centre of town, is one of the projects going forward.  We will be removing self-set trees and scrub; putting in new seating and paving; building flower beds; painting lock gates; planting bulbs and planting new mature trees.

The works will be further enhanced by new build development and plans to regenerate the Library and its environment.
