A man is putting the "heart and soul" back into his community by beautifying the village he calls home.
Stephen Mousdell started out tending to neglected parts of St Helens during the coronavirus lockdown, adding to rail planters and displays around the town centre. Now the 30-year-old has been at work to overhaul his home village of Haydock, having raised thousands of pounds to help make improvements to the area.
Stephen, who works at a Tesco store in the village, told the ECHO: "I have lived here all my life and my heart and soul is in where I live. Throughout many days and nights, rain and sunshine even snow, I started my next project in trying to get Haydock looking like a rustic village again.
