HEADLESS Cross residents association landed itself right in the wet and smelly...following an appeal in the Indicator for manure.

For Mr Robert Fowler, of Spring Hill Farmhouse, came up with loads of the stuff free of charge and so did Mr Humphries, who owns a farm adjacent to Morten Stanley Park.

Now the association is to appeal again, this time to anyone with a tractor and trailer or lorry to help them cart it away.

They also want volunteers to help shift the muck.

The manure will be used at Morten Stanley Park where it is planned to plant £70 worth of special jubilee roses.

The association is at present waiting for the council to give the go-ahead for rotavation work on the rose beds and any excess manure will be spread on shrub beds.
