THE Friends of Maghull and District are getting ready to install a unique ‘bottle-top rhinos’ sculpture later this month. As part of their successfully completed Stafford Moreton Way Wildflower Project, the Friends’ one year crowd-funding campaign finished at the end of March. Unfortunately, due to coronavirus restrictions, they had to postpone the second part of the project, which was due to be the installation of a noticeboard, the sculpture and the planting of 102m² of wildflower turf.
