The team filled planters at the community gardens, prepared mulch alongside the heritage wall, planted bulbs at the memorial gardens and litter picked within the village.

Bellway also donated £100 towards the group’s ongoing work to make Holytown a nicer place for everyone.

Pauline Coates, sales director, Bellway Homes Ltd (Scotland West), said: “A big thank you to the Holytown Environmental Group for letting us volunteer and help them in their amazing efforts. It was hard work but great fun! The group are making a huge difference in the local area, creating a beautiful place to live.”

Formed in 2024, Holytown Environmental Group is made up of volunteers who look after locally uncared for public areas as well as installing and tending to planters, reporting graffiti and arranging litter picks.
