A huge thank you to our wonderful local resident, Alan Gouldthorpe for removing the graffiti on the gable end in the Market Place this morning. Alan decided to use his own graffiti removal kit to erase the unwanted graffiti today and we really can’t thank you enough for striving to keep our streets clean and graffiti free.

Please save the date for the Barton Upon Humber Town Councils Picnic in the Park. More details will follow soon.
