The Bollin Valley in Bloom

The flowers of the oak, symbolised in our emblem, are green and insignificant. Our presence in Trafford is green and far from insignificant. We manage the old rail-line between Heatley and Broadheath which forms part of the Trans Pennine Trail as well as Rossmill (next to Hale Golf Club) and a network of country footpaths in Well Green, Hale Barns, Ashley Heath, Bowdon, Dunham, Warburton and Partington. These paths lead out from the suburbs into the wider countryside: where weeds become wild flowers; where maize can grow into a maze; where buzzards soar and skylarks still sing.
