Granger Things
7 GoodGymers made their way to help the City of York Council Neighbourhood Enforcement in York.

Seven GGers met with Jenny from City of York Council for one of a series of litter picks GG has carried out in parks and public areas around the City in the past week. Grange Park has a children's play area and several large fields surrounded by woodland and bushes. Jenny provided us with litter pickers and bags and off we went. Laura headed for the play area and with Jenny and John cleared loads of sweet wrappers and cans from around the children playing on the swings, some of whom helped! Egg, Ellie, Lizzie, Digby the Dog and Paul found a secret dell filled to the brim with beer cans and detritus, including various items of clothing which quickly filled their bags. Leanne headed for another secret dell where she was soon joined by the others clearing a small area that kept them occupied for an hour. But despite this Leanne and Jenny were pleased to see that overall the lasting effects of their litter pick last year were still in evidence. We ended in the dark with a socially distanced photo taken by Jenny who thanked us for our efforts.
