COLNE residents interested in improving facilities of a local park can get involved and make a difference.

The Friends of Alkincoats Park work keep the park maintained so visitors can enjoy the park in a pleasant and safe environment.

Matthew Whyte, Park Keeper for Alkincoats Park said: "We act as a link between local residents and Pendle Council staff and councillors.

"By working together we can solve problems and make improvements for the benefit of everyone involved."
