The residents of Park Ward (Maghull) represented by Cllr Dr Mike Desmond, Cllr June Burns (Mayor of Sefton) and Chloe Parker (MTC leader) (pictured seated R to L)  have to our surprise, delight and immense gratitude – donated £1000 towards a £10,000 target to complete the final stage of Maghull’s largest green environmental cleanup and restoration project in the centre of Maghull, at Rowlands Dell (between the Hare and Hounds Pub and Medical Centre). Cllr Dr Desmond said, “It’s great to see what I’ve known since childhood as a muddy and overgrown cut-through transformed into a beautiful and peaceful oasis. It was also great to meet some of the people who have worked so hard to make this happen.”

This precious donation has boosted our crowdfunding donation appeal total to £1653.56 in only the 2nd of a 25-week fund raising campaign organised by your  Friends of Maghull & District (FOMD) volunteer group supported by our NHS partner landowners”.

This beautiful haven for wildlife has unbelievably been treated as an open tip for decades, where every inch has revealed a variety of pollutants harmful to wildlife. In our three-stage plan, stage I has resulted in Maghull’s biggest ever 46-week cleanup in which FOMD have removed 266 bin bags of litter and 25 tons of debris. In the two months of Stage II, that was completed in November, with our NHS landowner partners (expertly installed by subcontractors – PR England Landscapers) using a health and wellness grant fund (representing Maghull’s largest green investment) have installed an amazing legacy array of hard landscaping installations to provide accessibility for the whole community (accessible path, viewing/picnic area, sunken garden, bins, 10,000 bulbs and planting at small junction points, bug and bird boxes, and a dry waterfall feature). We are now engaging in stage three to repopulate Rowlands Dell with woodland planting and need your help.

With huge thanks.
