LONG TERM SUCCESS
Local member, Councillor Ben Powell, said:
t was great to see so many local residents
and partner organisations at this event
which really is testament to the fantastic
support and hard work that so many peopleave contri ute to make the track ecome a
reality.
The development of the new track began
initially due to the input of Cheshire Police
who, along with young people living locally,
have been instrumental in getting the project
off the ground.want to do my very best to ensure the
long-term success of the new track and will
be providing funding from my member budget
grant to support the user group.
REN Grant Manager, Richard Smith, said:
This is one of the largest projects that WREN
as ever supported and funded in Cheshire
an am really pleased to see the final
designs come to fruition.
The support have seen for the pro ectocally shows that there was a real need for a
facility of this type and I am delighted that we

MAY BLOSSOMSGARDENING BY JANET HEATH
LATE spring is one of myfavourite times of the
year when trees andshrubs burst with
white blossom andthe new leaves are afresh green.
If you want a treefor a small garden trycrab apples (Malus) ona dwarfing rootstock suchas M26, that will reduce theultimate size of the tree to12ft (3.6m). The trees giveyou pink or white blossomin spring and apples orcrab apples in autumnwith good autumnfoliage colour. Crabapple varieties toconsider include JohnDownie pretty yellowand red fruit and lotsof pink blossom or PinkGlow with large plum sizedpink apples.
A shrub with pretty pinkflowers that will form amound of colour in earlysummer is Deutzia which willgrow to 3ft (1m) tall. Look outfor Deutzia x elegantissimaRosealind with deep pinkflowers or Deutzia x hybridMont Rose. Plant in sun orpartial shade in most soils.
Those with acidic soilscan grow Azaleas andRhododendrons. Both have
flowers in a wide range ofcolours but if you want scent
and flowers go for the scentedAzaleas especially those withyellowflowers.
If you are interested inperennials try the deepblue perennial cornflower,Centaurea Montana. It islong flowering, will flower
a second time if you cut thefirst flowers off and will grow
in most heavier soils but isnot keen on sandy soils.
Jobs to do in earlysummer includeplanting up pots withtender perennialsonce the frost isfi
nally banished!Sow seeds indoors ofFrench and Runner
beans, Courgettes andCucumbers then harden
off and plant out in June.Outside you should be ableto germinate carrots, peas,
lettuce, radishes and otherleafy salads from mid
May onwards.If you would like
more ideas of plantsto grow, visit agarden open under
the National GardensScheme where your
entrance fee goes tocharities including MacmillanCancer Support. Gardens
open in May include TirleyGarth at Willington whichhas many old Azaleas andRhododenrons in this historicArts and Crafts garden(open 12th and 19th May).Haughton Hall at Haughtonnear Bunbury is open on 5thMay and also has Azaleasand Rhododendrons and
interesting trees.
