Gregson Green chairperson Jacqui Gibson said: “I’m sure the trail will help to brighten up daily walks for residents as well as giving something back to NHS workers.

“It’s so great to see all the creativity and effort that’s gone in to the scarecrows, I’m so proud of the community spirit.”

The scarecrow trail is on display until Tuesday 26 May and there’s an online vote via the Gregson Green website for the best display.
