Under Repair
Christ Church, Ince, undergoing repairs. The steel rod which secures the Celtic Cross on the East end of the church has corroded and must be replaced. Further problems have been revealed by a close inspection of the stonework around. It's going to be an expensive job....

Waiting for the bell - school buses in First's depot in Wigan
Most local stage carriage services now use single-decker buses, but high capacity vehicles are still required for the morning and afternoon schools contracts. Buses from here serve schools in the local area and also West Lancashire, which means there's a lot of dead mileage being run between the depot and the schools.

Yellow school buses at First's Wigan depot
In an attempt to make travelling to school on a bus 'cool', as opposed to having your ear bent by a parent as they drive you in the family car to school and back, yellow school buses, in imitation of the iconic US school bus, are increasingly seen on our roads. It seems a bit wasteful - the buses in regular fleet colours also do duty on regular stage carriage routes, but the yellow buses sit idle during the school day. Seems at variance with the aim of getting pupils to use school buses as an environmental measure.

Amberswood Community Woodland
I'm not quite sure what "Community Woodland" is, but it has been sponsored by the Co-Operative Bank. Maybe five or six years ago this was the Corporation Refuse Tip!
