Thanks to the support of our Stanley & Outwood East Councillors' we have recently secured NIF funding. This has enabled us to purchase baskets which take us one step closer to bringing back hanging baskets in 2027. To find out more click on the picture of the Hanging Basket.
Kingsland School - Flowerbed makeover June 2026!
Stanley Residents Group Volunteers have worked hard over the last few days giving a bit of a makeover to the old grow beds outside Kingsland School up past BottomBoat.
They do need a full refurb (which we can’t handle alone) but they should look much better this summer with a little facelift and give a nice welcome to Stanley for students and staff and also passing traffic. 🌸🌺🌻🌼
HUGE thanks to Peter and Denise who live locally, for their graft and commitment 👏👏👏 massive respect to you both. ♥️
Kingsland School - July 2026 - see how they've grown!
Sept 2026 - still blooming!
