A lovely little crew of 5 Two Circles employes headed up to Aberdour Court to tidy up a couple of the outside spaces so they can be used by residents. We met Sherron who equipped us with tools and showed us the areas that needed sorting.

In one space there was some plastic ivy which needed reattaching to the fence. George took the initiative and went to grab some cable ties from a local hardware store (Top local knowledge from Gill!) whilst the rest of us started weeding between the pavement slabs. We reattached the ivy, righted the yucca plant and the space looked so much better, and actually useable!

In the second space there were bags of junk to put in the bin and plenty more weeds to uproot. The team promptly got to work and rapidly improved the look and feel of the area. Now the residents will have two communal spaces they can enjoy. Top stuff.
