Public library building needs smartening up

Surbiton Library is a beautiful building and we have regular visits here to tend to the planters. We have had a request to focus some of our attention on the car park round the back. The weeds are getting out of control here and there is an issue with litter as well. When things get neglected then it can cause a downward spiral so more litter is dumped as the weeds get higher and higher. We need your help to stop it all in it's tracks and bring it some love.

We will also need to do a maintenance check and remove any weeds that have rooted themselves in the planters and to tidy up the weeds that inevitable grow in the cracks of the concrete around the front of the building. There may be some litter that needs to be removed as well. Basically, a general tidy up!

This is an outdoor task so bring gardening gloves if you have them.

Meet at the Quaker Centre for a 2.7km run there and a 2.7km run back. If you need to meet us at the venue we should be there at 7pm and the address is Surbiton Library, Ewell Rd, Surbiton, KT6 6AG.
