David Logan, from FoSP, said: “The Friends of Springfield Park volunteer, charity group were really delighted and pleased to receive the second highest certificate for the Britain in Bloom, North West, ‘It's Your Neighbourhood’ award. This was won because of the terrific amount of work done by the members and supporters of the FoSP group.

“Naturally, this was helped, sponsored and supported by our ward councillors, Pat Sullivan, Jane Gartside and Ian Duckworth, as well as many other appreciative and supportive councillors from many surrounding wards in the whole Borough of Rochdale.
