Fresh new look for Riddell

The Riddells Creek Lions Club has been busy keeping the town in tip top shape.

Armed with funding provided via grants and the generosity of the local community, club volunteers have been making improvements to the town.

Members recently refurbished the town’s entry signs with a fresh coat of paint, making sure all visitors receive a warm welcome.

The club has also built a new community shelter at the Memorial Lions Park and carried out a full refurbishment of the Memorial Gates on Main Road.

President Alan Fraser said it’s all made possible with generous support from the Riddells Creek community and beyond.

“Some of this work and effort has been provided from people, not necessarily townsfolk but people who recognise what we’re doing was of benefit to the wider community,” he said.

Mr Fraser said the Lions are happy to deliver improvements to Riddells Creek.

“These small touches make a big difference to the appearance and pride of our town,” Mr Fraser said.

The club recently received funding for its pollinator garden project at the Lions Memorial Park. More information on the project will be available soon.

Mr Fraser said the club is always looking for new members to get involved and help the community. Information on the club, including meeting times, is available on the Riddells Creek Lions Club Facebook page.
