Darton East – as printed

Darton West – The ‘Stars of Darton’ event took place on 9^th March and was a great success, attended by around 150 people.  The planters are now in situ and residents are taking ownership of their upkeep.  Letters have gone out to local businesses to determine if they are willing to sponsor hanging baskets.  Some have responded positively and it is hoped that something similar could be done for provision of Christmas lights.
