Field of Hope at Connor Park

North Down leads the way in Fields of Hope and that is something to be very proud of.

I recently met with Mr Beaney, Council Officer and Mr Phil Kane from Marie Curie at Connor Park in Bangor West, with a view to establishing a Field of Hope in the area.

The Council will prepare the field, and at the moment have agreed to provide bulbs, as well as the 30000 from Marie Curie, the local school children at Grange Park Primary School are delighted to become involved. Some of the residents at Kensington Park, along with the Bangor West Conservation Group have also asked to be part of the day’s planting.

As part of the Hope theme Marie Curie are sending a daffidol bulb to many, and I know these bulbs would be planted in many homes, different places or Connor Park with a great deal of love.

Many patients at the Marie Curie Centre come from our postcode areas, as do their nurses.

The Field of Hope Day for Conor Park is planned for 4th November.

I was delighted that my fellow Councillors supported my recommendation.
