The Spring Clean took place as planned on a lovely sunny afternoon with a class of year 4 pupils, parents, Residents Association members and Local Councillors. Whilst the children and parents concentrated on clearing the school of the litter that had built up under the folliage the RA members cleared and pruned some of the overgrown plants. About 20 bags of litter and garden rubbish was collected. A great effort was made by all the spruce you the place with the results looking wonderful. Whilst this was taking place the Local Councillors made a start on Southfield Road collecting almost a full bag by scrabbling under hedges to clear as much as possible. The event took about 2 hours with support for the rubbish clearance in relation to equipment, bags and waste removal bring provided by Susan Ward-Rice of the Area Committee and Streetscene. One of the Residents Association also managed to give the access subway a good sweep making the place look generally better.
After the main clean up event of Tuesday we thought we wish we had a bit more time to freshen up the front of the School. One of the Association was gagging to carry on with the clean up on the day itself but unfortunately we had run out of time. I thought as I had some spare time we could go back and complete a little work. Between 2 of us we managed to do a half decent job that will hopefully surprise the school when they return on Monday.
A big thank you to all those who helped.
