With the many current and planned developments for our town, we will give a brief description of the projects and, where appropriate, include a link to any relevant web site for current news. In the face of so many planned developments in the town, the Bury Society Committee is urging the authorities to proceed slowly and to give each new major development time to settle before embarking on a new one..
The Bury Society is currently engaged in activities as follows:
- The Blanchard Planter. This terracotta planter was build in St. Mary’s Square around 1874. The Society is collaborating to launch an appeal to pay for its restoration. Click here for more details.
- Green Space. The Society has recently assisted the planting of the Hornbeam trees in the old Cattle Market car parks. The funds for this project (£20,000) came from the Dr Alison Rae Bequest, for which the Society are Trustees.
- The Gershom-Parkington clock collection. The Society strongly advocates that this world-class collection be kept on display, in its entirety, in the town in accordance with the bequest. We continue in our discussions with the Borough to achieve this.
Further details of these, and other activities, may be found in our newsletter that is sent out to all members.
