Pleased to be one of the partners!

One thing I always wanted to do was restart Whitaker Park Friends. Really pleased that with the help of Civic Pride Rossendale and lots of local people willing to lend a hand we've been able to do that and make a difference. Thanks everyone who helped today #Rawtenstall Before & After

It's always fun doing gardening projects with Civic Pride Rossendale. We spent this morning clearing brambles and trimming overgrown hedges on the outbound layby - here's Chris making sure the truck is packed properly! The new 3 Pines garden is looking great too, well done everyone.

A real pleasure at Full Council meeting this evening to congratulate Civic Pride Rossendale on being put through to the National Britain in Bloom awards. We're so proud of everything they've achieved, they really do represent all that is good about our Borough. Well done, everyone!
