MEMBERS of the Halwill Community Centre have dedicated a bench in memory of a tireless volunteer, described as a 'friend to everybody'.

Edie Mellish sadly passed away last year before Christmas, but as her daughter lived up country, many locals could not attend the funeral.

A service was held in Halwill but not everybody was able to make it, so instead, to honour the memory of Edie, the group has dedicated a bench in a nearby spot to the centre, run by the Winsford Trust, Halwill Junction.
