Volunteers from Langley Park are being invited to help celebrate World Environment Day on Saturday 5th June by repainting one of the Iron Bridges on the Lanchester Valley Walk for the first time in decades.
It will finally remove the names of many who are now adults that daubed the bridge with their names in years past.
The bridge in question is the first one out of Langley Park on the path towards Durham - and if sufficient people show up and enjoy the day, more bridge paintings will be planned.
The event is organised by We Are Langley Park and takes place during National Volunteering Week. It is one of hundreds of activities happening across County Durham to celebrate the launch of the County Durham Environment Partnership.
Julie Eze, Secretary of We Are Langley Park said, “Nowadays, we tend not to do that many things as a village, so this will be a great chance to meet new people, enjoy our nearby countryside and help improve our local environment all at the same time.”
Durham County Council’s Countryside Service are supplying the paint and brushes, so people just need to bring themselves in some old clothes. Drinks will be on hand to help people cool down or warm up, depending on the weather.
The paint will arrive at 10am and volunteers will be around until 4pm, so people can either make a day of it, or just lend a hand as they are passing.
