WE WANT to thank the Poppy Road Project team for bringing together the community in Holgate to create a remembrance meadow along Poppleton Road for the centenary of the First World War.

We enjoyed our time helping out with planting and we have all been supportive of ward funding contributing to this project.

It was great to see so many new and familiar faces coming together in Holgate for a great cause.

David Lund, Jane Lund, Clea Grady, Tina Abbott, Steve Roberts and Annemarie King deserve so much credit for their efforts in creating a genuine community, grassroots project and we look forward to it going from strength to strength.

James Alexander, Sonja Crisp and Joe Riches, Labour councillors for Holgate ward, City of York Council.
