Dear All,

I am happy to announce that Greenmount Village Community will be holding a meeting on Wednesday 15th April at Greenmount UR Church at 7pm, to discuss the restoration work planned for Peel Tower. As a community group we are linked with Proffitts CIC and the Heritage Society to promote this very important project.

The presentation will be given by Courtnay Ives who is a Senior Architect from Buttress. Buttress is a leading design studio that provides services including architecture, heritage consultancy, and conservation architecture. Courtnay will tell us about the survey work that the team have been carrying out at Peel Tower, and she will also be able to answer questions about the monument and other interesting heritage projects she’s worked on too.

Kind regards,

Julie Southworth

Dear All,

I would like to make you aware of a generous donation from Cormar Carpets, who provided a large amount of Easter Eggs to be given to the community.

As we had a Tabletop Sale on Easter Saturday, this was an ideal opportunity to hand out eggs to the children who attended and to many of our volunteers.

Other eggs were given to Lisa and AhYee who provide educational workshops at Holly Mount Orchard, including during the Easter holidays. All the children attending also received one of these donated eggs.

Cormar Carpets have also offered to support our Village Party on Monday 4^th May, by providing some Tombola prizes. We thank them for their continued support for Greenmount Village Community.

Kind regards,

Julie Southworth

Dear All,

Please see the message below from Faye, who runs the Balsam Bashing sessions in this area. We have worked alongside her in various areas of Bury North, but help is needed……. Kind regards, Julie Southworth

We will soon be starting our Himalayan Balsam removal for 2026. Himalayan Balsam is a highly invasive plant which is damaging to the environment. It crowds our native plants and can contribute to flooding by destabilising riverbanks (as you may know already!). Our first session is at Kirklees Valley & we will be working behind Tottington St John’s Cricket Club (in the woods 👀). We would love to have a good turn out as we know the area means a lot to the community and it really needs a big push to get this plant under control there.

Event Details: 16th May 2025 at 10:30am (see poster attached). Sorry no parking available at St. John’s Cricket Club.
