Suporting a new outdoor classroom and community park in Derbyshire |
|
|
Through its Landfill Communities Fund Lafarge, along with other funding partners, have supported a new community park on the outskirts of Buxton in Derbyshire.
The grant has enabled the open space at Granby Road, Fairfield, to be turned into a wildlife area and ‘outdoor classroom' whilst another part of the site will become a play area for children and teenagers. |
Pathways, new fencing, access gates, climbing boulders, a cable way and a fun ball game will help to transform the open space into a community park for all. |
Supporting community aspirations in Warwickshire |
|
|
A new state-of-the-art village hall has been built in Church Lawford, between Coventry & Rugby with the help of Lafarge's LCF. The hall was a culmination of 11 years of hard work by the local community and will provide a facility more than twice the size of the original old Reading Room. |
The new hall features high standards of energy conservation and innovative items such as under-floor heating, heat pump sun tubes, rain water harvesting and low energy electrics. |
