WORK was carried out during the final community work party of the year at Bridport Community Orchard. A green fingered group of volunteers got to work on Monday, December 21 - completing a wide variety of jobs. The work party had been postponed from the previous Sunday when there had been a heavy rainfall. On the second attempt the group were able to enjoy dry, yet breezy conditions. They completed a set of jobs to tide them over until the new year, including:
Weeding the pollinator bed and removing couch grass and creeping buttercup
Reducing the height of the hedge between allotments and the orchard - the work was started during the week by a volunteer and was continued on Monday - though there is still more work to be done
LET S keep going is the message for Bridport residents over Christmas - as the community rallies together to spread cheer. Support systems are in place for those who are having to spend the day alone and residents have been working hard to raise some Christmas cheer in the most difficult of years. In a festive message to residents, Mayor of Bridport Ian Bark said local people had been fantastic during an awful year. He said there was light at the end of the tunnel but that people should not drop their guard yet. Christmas will be very different for most of us this year after plans for the big day were thrown into disarray at the eleventh hour by tough new Government restrictions.
