It was a stormy looking night, but that doesn't stop goodgym from making an appearance.

We met the fantastic Fran from Heeley Community Garden on site with tools, ready to get stuck in.

With the spring and summer sun the garden was looking full of life, only perhaps a little too much of the wrong type of life with weeds overgrowing and taking over.

We got tooled up with gloves and spades and got to clearing one of the beds which was full of fly-tipping, weeds, rubble and litter, we even found a rotary washing line in there!

After a brief spell the bed was looking much clearer and ready for a new lease of life! Fran was mentioning that lessons had been learned from the last set of planting and that they would be going for trees rather than flowers this time as they are a lot easier to maintain.

We look forward to seeing these come through in good time.

Until next time, happy running :)

On a hot, muggy evening it was goodgym time again and this week we were surveying the cities fish pases to check that they are free from debris.

Keeping the fish pases free from debris is essential to allow for the fish to navigate the rivers to get to their prefered place to lay their eggs.

The passes we saw were all in good health with free flowing water and now even have QR stickers so that anyone passing the fish passes on the weirs can report of there are any obstructions.

Why not give it a go next time you are passing?
