Darrington Parish Council takes pride in helping to maintain and care for some of the facilities and amenities around the village. This includes benches, planters and lamp post baskets, as well as supporting the provision of publicly accessible defibrillators.
Benches
The village benches have been provided by Darrington Parish Council and are maintained by a local village craftsman, with the cost of maintenance funded by the Parish Council.
Planters
The village planters and lamp post baskets are funded by Darrington Parish Council. The winter planting is carried out by Parish Councillors, helping to keep the village looking bright and welcoming throughout the colder months.
Defibrillators
There are three publicly accessible defibrillators located around Darrington:
- The Spread – mounted on the wall of the pub.
- Estcourt Road – located in the old telephone box.
- Valley Road – mounted on the wall of Holme Cottage, next to the Air Crash Memorial.
All three defibrillators form part of the scheme operated by Pontefract Civic Trust, helping to provide vital emergency equipment within the village.
