Thank you very much to everyone who helped at the November clean up day. The weather was wet and very cold but we managed to clear the stream of weed and leaves. The nettles on the bank and overhanging tree branches were also cut back.
I'd like to thank Purbeck who kindly donated a skip which made clearing up the debris much easier and quicker.
Unfortunately, as the weather was so wet, the skate ramp could not be painted. However, Jeremy Barber and his team cleaned the skate ramp and repaired the broken rails. We have deferred the painting until the Spring clean up day and hope the weather will be better then. Any volunteers willing to help with the painting in the Spring please get in touch.
I'd like to thank Ricky Bourne and his team of litter pickers who have done such a good job keeping the roads clear of litter throughout the year.
Many thanks to the Cricketers who provided excellent sandwiches and chips at lunch time – and also a warming fire to sit by.
Our next clean up day will be in the Spring and I look forward to seeing old and new volunteers then. Thank you once again to everyone who helps keep Longparish a pleasant place to live in.
Jenny Jolliffe
