Students and volunteers work hard to restore Poulton green space
The council’s volunteering service, parks and open spaces team and students set to work last year on clearing and restoring the playing fields, and now a new group of business, IT, art and design students from the college will be working on maintaining the garden over the next year.
Textiles students will be making cushions for new seats made from tyres, and art and design students have painted a new mural onto a wall, naming the area "Cottam Hall community garden."

"The work they are doing is making a real difference and is something we can build upon with other community groups in the future.”
