COMMUNITY spirited volunteers raised the Green Flag on Saturday to celebrate their work transforming Hollinfare Cemetery.

The once neglected site in Hollins Green has been awarded Green Flag status for the third year running thanks to the work of more than 40 people, aged between eight and 80, who weed, brush, plant, prune and mow during regular action days.

Friends of Hollinfare Cemetery action days are held on the last Saturday of each month from February to November between 10am and 2pm. The next is on November 29.
