TREES have been planted at a former bit of waste ground in Guiseley as part of efforts to turn it into a public park. Members of Aireborough Soroptimists donated three flowering trees to the project aimed at turning the piece of ground off Springfield Road into a place where parents could take their children. Richard Hughes-Rowlands, chairman of Project Guiseley, behind the scheme, said the trees would grow to a good size and would help make the park somewhere where people would want to go. "We've put up notices about dogs fouling the area and a dog waste bin and we'll be putting up some seats. It'll be somewhere where young children can play about without fear of being knocked down by cars, it's a nice green spot in the middle of Guiseley," said Mr Hughes-Rowlands. Pictured are Janet Lockwood, president of Aireborough Soroptimists and Joan Moorehouse, member of the international year of peace and culture. (25-9-AH)
