Small Wins for our First Birthday
š Ay-up neighbours! On 26 August, our Community Interest Company (CIC) will celebrate its first birthday. We thought weād mark the occasion by having a look at some of our recent small wins. Major objectives such as improving the rain gardens, reducing vehicle speeds in the area, improving the safety of the Mansfield Road junction and ridding the Dales of weeds are difficult and take time, not least because they require active participation from organisations such as the police and the council.
