Myself and Claire met the York BID guys and several other volunteers for another of their Rejuvenation Days. After our safety briefing and kit run-through our group headed to Skeldergate and a row of somewhat wobbly bollards. After brushing down and wiping them we set to work giving them a new coat of black Hammerite paint. Claire was at top speed as she could only stay for the first hour and had a great system in place to minimise hair blown by the wind into sticky paint (work from the bottom up)! Our team soon had all the bollards painted so we moved on to the nearby benches and refreshed the decorative ends. I left the rest of the group to continue working on another bench and litter bin across the street. The street certainly looked a great deal smarter than when we arrived.
