A team of twenty one staff from Network Rail braved cold, wet conditions to transform an area of the garden centre at Bromborough Pool and improve access to Raby Hall along a woodland pathway.

Fuelled by bacon baps and tea and aided by a digger and a dumper truck, the energetic team at the garden centre used 40 tonnes of crushed brick and seven tonnes of Grano-dust to build a network of paths to the rear of the building, creating a customer-friendly area in which we’ll be able to display shrubs and herbaceous plants for sale.

Meanwhile at Raby Hall,  a smaller l team embarked on a blitz clearing overgrowing vegetation that was overhanging paths and driveways.  The small gang made a big difference to the appearance and efficiency of these routes at WAS’s site at Raby Hall, the site houses The Ferns, one of the leading Autism Respite Centres in the country as well as the soon to be completed cutting edge design building, The Willows.
