Welcome

Children in Featherstone got colourful and sporty this summer as part of a lively set of activities organised by a local community group that received a financial boost from Wakefield and District Housing (WDH).

Of the 5,500 tonnes of waste that Wakefield and District Housing (WDH) shifts each year, which includes anything from office waste, to old dumped mattresses recovered from estates, only 31% of it was recycled with the rest going to landfill.

Children from Wakefield were jumping through hoops, scrambling under nets and dribbling round cones in a challenging obstacle course as part of a fortnight of events organised by a local community group.

A new housing development consisting of 55 homes shared between Wakefield and District Housing (WDH) and Ben Bailey homes is well on its way in the area of Featherstone.
