People giving a makeover to a Bath railway station are looking for help with plants. Residents in Oldfield Park have worked tirelessly to improve the look of their station, which had become neglected and overgrown.

The On Board Project aims to encourage residents to take a pride and interest in their community.

Last week the Mayor of Bath, Tim Ball, visited the station to donate some plants to the scheme.

According to the Bath Chronicle, June Player, co-founder of the project, said: “These and any other plants are much appreciated as the station is a very large area, not only to plant out, but also to maintain. Although quite a lot of people now know about this project and donate us plants we would be more than happy to receive more. In fact, help with anything at all would be great.

She went on to say “You don’t have to be a gardener and know lots about plants to be an On-Boarder. This is meant to be an enjoyable, community and healthy interest. The amount of time put into it is entirely up to the individual.”

Information about the legend of Bladud’s pigs is now also on noticeboards on the platform, which have been funded by the Severnside Community Rail Partnership.
