Margrove Park Village News
Another road accident occured at the junction of Margrove Rd and the A171 this morning the 5th of April 2010.
We Wonder how many more accidents will need to take place at this dangerous junction before Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council manage to get their heads out of the sand and install the traffic lights
that we have all been asking for for many years.

Northumbria in Bloom 2010
The Village has been entered into the Northumbria in Bloom competition for the year 2010 and resident’s gardens will be looked at once again. Lockwood Parish Council have paid the entrance fee, and also made a Donation.
It is hoped that there will be some volunteers to help with the work required to bring the Village green up to a good standard. (It is already in reasonable shape so improvements should not prove too difficult to achieve.)
Date 10th April 2010
Although the weather has just started to improve several Village residents made a start on the flower beds and seating areas two weeks ago and the border in front of the hall has been cleaned up.
