Well done to Tessa, Kadriye and Alison, who joined me to tidy up Boyn Grove Park and nearby streets. The park and A4 offered rich pickings. We received thanks and cheers from grateful motorists and pedestrians, and also Georgeta, who was passing on her bike on her way to a GoodGym mission.

I also had a lovely chat with children at All Saints School, who were also doing some lunchtime litter picking.

Kudos to Viv and Angela, who targeted Furze Platt, and to Christine, who cleaned up around Castle Hill. Also to Sol, Matt, Diya and Kanika, who all blitzed streets near work or home.

We all got some steps in and got a good workout lugging those bags around. Go team!

Diya and Kanika took an early lunch break to go help Mrs M with her gate latch issues. She was clearly in need of a little chat as well, so we spent a few mins chatting first and then got onto adjusting the latches on her two garden gates. She seemed to enjoy the company and was pleased with our handiwork.

Squeezed in another litter pick between work meetings; this time towards the Furze Platt station. Sad to report there’s still so much more, might need another couple of rounds.
