DARVEL IMPROVEMENT GROUP (DIG)

Darvel Improvement Group (DIG) is a group of local volunteers whose aim is to improve the environment, organise community social events and preserve the history and heritage of Darvel.

DIG holds 3 main meetings each year and smaller subgroups meet as and when necessary.

If you are interested in making Darvel a better place to live, you are welcome to come along to our meetings and find out how you can help or give us some ideas of your own.

If you cannot manage to come along to meetings but would still like to help, email the secretary at aljomorton@msn.com and you will be included in our mailing list when the group is looking for helpers at Cafe Day, Christmas Market, Park and River Tidy up and Garden maintainance etc.

a resident says

It is wonderful that there is a Darvel Improvement Group. There are many places of great beauty here e.g. the River Irvine, Morton Park, Loudon Hill. What spoils Darvel is the Main Street. There are many premises which look run down and dirty. I think that the people responsible for the premises should roll up their sleeves get some fresh paint and soap and water, and take some pride in their businesses. Why should it be down to the Council? A morning's work would make such an improvement.

Les Pittams says

We are always seeking new members who, apart from helping in a physical sense, can come up with ideas and projects. Our group have committee meetings 3 or 4 times per year. Our secretary will be posting information on this site in the near future so keep checking if interested in joining us.
