City of Doncaster Council sow Wildflowers along Hayfield Lane Verge
To promote the growth of the flowers along the verge which will add an attractive feature, residents and local users of the area including parents/ guardians of Hayfield Lane School, are reminded not to park on the verges along Hayfield Lane which are marked by double yellow lines. There have been reports of near misses involving the local school children and we hope the new feature will help to keep local children safe.
Sports Equipment for Hayfield Park
Now available on loan from the Spar on Hayfield Lane.
Auckley Parish Council are providing sponge balls and basketballs (for various ages) for use on the MUGA as well table tennis equipment for use on the table tennis table. We have recently reseeded the football pitch so please do not use the pitch at this time.
