WRIGLEY MILL STATEMENT
We have received the following statement from Wrigley Mill Community Action Group.
We have had an unprecedented response from the community in relation to the Wrigley Mill survey about the sale of the building and what the community would like to see happen to Wrigley Mill. We would like to advise that we have placed a bid on behalf of the Wrigley Mill Community Action Group for the building.
Our bid was not the preferred one but we are trying to continue our discussions with the Methodist circuit.
Unfortunately, we have been given no further information at the moment. This bid and maybe other bids from other sources, are still being discussed with Breakey and Nuttall and the Methodist Circuit.
Thank you for your support!

Himalayan Balsam Bash
Although it looks innocent, this plant is causing havoc to the village. Its aggressive growth causes other wild flowers to die because they cannot compete and it erodes the river and canal banks causing problems to footpaths and towpaths. Join us at 10 am at Wrigley Mill for a mornings bashing.
