Lewis, Ashley, Mandy, Tracey, Rachel, Grantand I got together at Field Lane Community Association to help clear Route 66, the National Cycle Route that circles Derby. It was great to see Lewis here, on his first good deed, and we enjoyed having a chat with him as we set off to motor west (well, to walk...) along the route, which goes all the way around Derby. We walked more that two thousand ...metres... all the way. Our first job was clearing the route of litter, and then to find the signage of Route 66 and make sure that it was clean and clear. Grant, Lewis and Ashley travelled my way up the ladder to clean the signs, and Grant even managed to turn some signs to point the right way! We got several bags of litter picked. We left it looking the highway that's the best.

Hall maintenance will help to extend the life of Mickleover Memorial Hall. This will allow them to invest more in projects such as a kitchenette and disabled toilet to make the building more useful and accessible to the local community.
