A WILLOW coppice in the Riverside area has
provided some useful material since it was planted in
April 2008. People expert in making
willow artefacts have used it - as have local people looking for a
material for Christmas decorations. And, no, the latter use is not out
of order. |

James Thompson, Executive
Director of Greenspaces South Cheshire CIC, explained "It is perfectly
all right for people to help themselves to small quantities of the
willow. It is a community project - and that is what it is there for."

CIC volunteer, Colin Lines, on cutting back the willow.
This is not just a tidying-up exercise as the trimmed willow is used to
teach schoolchildren about the wood.
