“We are pleased to say that with match funding from Rochdale Council the bench is now in place.  

“We hope the bench is a useful addition to the village, especially as it is placed outside the little cafe and doctor's surgery.

“Many members from the W.I. attended for the ribbon cutting which was held on Friday 5 July.
