We want to have positive, kind and constructive conversations with our social media users and ask everyone to work within our terms of use for social media.

We've had an art-tastic time in Penkridge this morning! We were joined by families for a Fantasy Maps workshop to celebrate The National Year of Reading. Author/illustrator Matt Buckingham delivered a brilliant session teaching attendees how to draw using shapes and then they created their own fantasy maps based on their favourite books. Here's a little sneak peak - you'll be able to see their maps on display at Penkridge station later this year.
Our thanks to London Northwestern Railway for funding the workshop.

🌿 LONGTON, LET’S GIVE OUR RAILWAY STATION SOME LOVE! 🌿

This Thursday, 17th September at 9am, the North Staffs Community Rail Partnership is holding a community clean up at Longton Railway Station and they’d love to see as many local people as possible getting involved! 💚

Our brilliant Bloomin' Longton volunteers will also be there to lend a hand, helping with the gardening, planting, litter picking and general tidying of the station and its green spaces.

Longton Railway Station is an important gateway into our town, and together we can help make it look welcoming, cared for and something our community can be proud of. 🌱

Whether you can spare an hour, the whole morning, or simply want to come along and do your bit, every pair of hands makes a difference.

🙌 Fancy joining them? Come along this Thursday at 9am and get involved!

And please SHARE this post and tag someone who might like to help. Let’s get as many Longton locals involved as possible! 💚

Longton looks better when we look after it together. 🌿💚
