More progress was made around the parish by a small team of volunteers on Friday 12 June. This included:
– Cutting back shrubbery and over-long verge growth around two ‘sharp-turn’ warning chevrons on Sywell Road. Both signs are now clearly visible, as are their lines of sight. (No nesting birds or wildlife affected by this action.)
– Digging out – and disposing of – copious amounts of earth and debris from drains and rain-water grills on Main Street (think The Great Escape tunnellers…)
– Initial work around the bench on Brixworth Road (heading towards the reservoir). This is a work-in-progress which will be continued in a fortnight.
Added to this, during previous weeks, teams of the FoH have:
– Cleaned and renovated three wooden benches
– Swept and tidied up along the jitty and the bottom end of Main Street around The White Swan
– Tidied up the Washbrook and around the lime tree at the bottom of Poplars Lane
– Cut away ivy and other weeds around the Green
– Mended the basketball hoop net and cleaned the playing area (another work-in-progress).
A big shout-out to all the volunteers who give so willingly of their time!
