The Marple lock system will provide the inspiration for SMBC's entry into the flower bed competition at this year's RHS Flower Show at Tatton Park.

Raise your hat to redevelopment
[These plans were reported previously, use the search box in the top left to find the details of this proposal - Bill]
Two 19C Hillgate Hatmills are to be redeveloped in a multi-million pound residential housing project, within the Hillgate Conservation Area.
Both buildings are considered to be of significant local architectural and historic interest and stand adjacent to the Grade I listed St Thomas's Church.
A former production works for William Harrison and Sons on St Thomas's Place, the mills are to be converted into a mixture of one and two-bed apartments.
Planning permission was given for the project at the Tame Valley Area Committee on Monday evening.
Compost Awareness Week is 7th-13 May
