Telford & Wrekin Council welcome longer daylight hours
as the clocks go forward this weekend.
With the nation awaiting the arrival of British summertime on
March 30, the Council are encouraging residents to call on and
enjoy a visit to any of the Borough's five formal parks.
As nature emerges in many guises, Telford and Wrekin's parks are
seeing the early signs of the warmer weather, with spring flowers
carpeting grass verges and blossom decorating tree branches.
Bowring, Dale End, Dawley, Hartshill and Telford Town Parks all
offer breathtaking and valuable open spaces with recreational and
play areas for visitors to enjoy.
Telford Town Park features the famous Stirchley Chimney nestled
amongst the 62 hectare local nature reserve, as well as the popular
children's adventure trail and Wonderland. The Gallery Café
provides light refreshments for hungry appetites.
Councillor Denis Allen said: "Being outdoors allows us to escape
our daily worries, enjoy fresh air, have quality time with our
family and friends and enjoy the benefits of spring which are free
to us all but are also priceless to those who appreciate the forces
of nature."
"Telford & Wrekin has a wealth of open space, with 95
hectares of green parkland which is equivalent to 16 full sized
football pitches."
"The parks also provide an invaluable home to wildlife providing
it with considerable sources of food and
shelter." |
