When the country was plunged into lockdown, many of us took on odd jobs and DIY projects. A group of volunteers in Maghull took it to the next level. The Friends of Maghull and District (FOMD) wanted to brighten up the entrance to the town, and quickly got to work crowdfunding. The area known locally as Bobby’s Wood (at the junction of Northway and Liverpool Road South) was partly covered with weeds and brambles. But the space is now unrecognisable.
