Work has begun on the preparation of the Anglers’ Car Park at Holm Mills, made possible by the kind co-operation of Neil Souter, manager of Holm Mills Shopping Village. Most of the site was cleared today (Tuesday, March 11) and work will continue tomorrow with the delivery and spreading of quarry scalpings to dress and consolidate uneven ground.

The Anglers’ Car Park, which should be able to accommodate at least 15 vehicles, is perfectly sited to serve anglers fishing the MacIntyre, Mill Stream, Trenches and Weir Pools. It will also relieve pressure on the mill car park as shopping visitor numbers are increasing year on year. [Pop up picture]
