On a sunny Monday evening, 7 Goodgymmers met with Lark Lane Neighbourhood Association to help spruce up one of the cities’ liveliest streets. We were tasked with some weeding and a general litter pick.

With memories of Eurovision celebrations fresh in our minds we were expecting to be faced with quite the task! But it was rather a tale of two halves. On the way down the lane we found tonnes of litter; cigarette butts, ice cream spoons, vapes, you name it. Not to mention some rather strange things in the flower beds.

However, we were pleasantly surprised to find the other half of the street to be much cleaner! We still managed to retrieve five whole bags of litter and Pauline did a rather wonderful job of weeding the beds.

Well done everyone, we definitely left the lane in a much better state than we found it and it was lovely to get so many positive comments from the locals. All in all a great way to spend a sunny Monday.
