Hall Close in Bloom

Customers living at Hall Close Stafford will be waking up to a blooming good show next spring after a planting session was held on 8 October.

Proceeds from a recent sponsored walk were used to buy bulbs to brighten up the area.  Volunteers from the BTCV were on hand to help with the planting.
