The Ginnels Project in Chapeltown needed help to clear a stretch of common land at the end of the longest ginnel in Leeds ready for an event later this month. Two GoodGymers joined the working party to help clear nettles, bindweed and other weeds encroaching on the path, and tidy around the raised beds which had become overgrown. Victor Victor came all the way from Birstall for his first GoodGym session and quickly got to work. After an hour or so struggling with stinging nettles and stubborn weeds, the cavalry arrived in the form of council gardeners with mowers and strimmers. They completed the task in minutes and the area has been transformed.
