Shadwell in Bloom February 2024
As noted previously, little help has been needed with beds, grassed areas and containers over previous weeks and particularly so with the remaining current very cold weather.
The Village Hall and Gateland Lane beds received attention today, with a view to some changes being made to their planting schemes. More later!
We are also waiting for better weather for bench cleaning but we have replaced timber at the Round Bed in Main Street with the debris going to the Seacroft Reclamation site. The ginnel off Strickland Avenue has however been cleared but new debris and damage has now appeared at the Tennis Club entrance and remains at the Manor Court verge to mention two instances.
The two dedicated seats in Colliers Lane are onto flagged areas and look excellent, the third (and earliest seat) seat will be rearranged similarly to these whithin the next month. The area has become popular with moles and the lengthman was tacking this today (13 February).
SIB has been involved in various other village jobs including the clarification of damage to the fencing and gates at the ring road end of the Red Lion path numbered 102. SPC is dealing with necessary repair within LCC guidelines.
Two new Stihl batteries have been purchased recently but we still remain to discover whether two faulty batteries will be replaced via Ripon Farm Services. The management at RFS has promised to report within a week!
Again we gratefully thank the Library and Methodist Church for their efforts to provide a regular opportunity for good food after each Tuesday morning and making a relevant opportunity for SIB topics to be regularly discussed. Today, (13 February), there were 10 of us for lunch at the church. All, including other villagers are welcome! Please also read the SIB Report by Debbie Potter in each Shadwell News for how to join us.

Shadwell in Bloom January 2024
Little help has been needed with beds, grassed areas and containers over previous weeks and particularly so with the remaining current very cold weather.
We are also waiting for better weather for bench cleaning and replacing timber at the Round Bed in Main Street etc. The ginnel off Strickland Avenue has however now been cleared.
Two of the dedicated seats in Colliers Lane are now fixed onto flagged areas and look excellent. The third (and earliest seat) seat will be rearranged similarly to these when the weather improves sufficiently. The area has become popular with moles.
SIB has been asked to be involved in various other village jobs including the refurbishment of the fencing and gates at the ring road end of the Red Lion path numbered 102. Steve Bumby is contacting LCC to determine the status (statutory or permissive) of the path so that others can be asked for help or assistance.
Two new Stihl batteries have been purchased recently but we remain to discover whether two faulty batteries will be replaced via Ripon Farm Services.
Again we gratefully thank the Library and Methodist Church for their efforts to provide a regular opportunity for good food after each Tuesday morning and making a relevant opportunity for SIB topics to be regularly discussed. Today, (12 January), there were 12 of us for lunch. About ten SIB Tuesday group members attend regularly but everyone including other villagers are welcome! Please also read the SIB Report by Debbie Potter in each Shadwell News for how to join us.

Shadwell in Bloom December 2023
Little help has been needed with beds and containers over previous weeks but some receipt and planting at the Riverside Bed area at the Coal Road will take place on the 12th December.
We are waiting for better weather for bench cleaning and replacing timber at the Round Bed in Main Street etc. The ginnel off Strickland Avenue has however now been cleared.
Two of the dedicated seats in Colliers Lane are now fixed onto flagged areas. The third (and earliest seat) seat will be rearranged similarly to these in the very near future.
