Quernmore Road - Goodgym Haringey ran there on a group task this week to spruce the road up in advance of their inaugural street party this Sunday. Five runners attended today to help set up.

Quernmore Road (it rhymes with "gurn more" received some funding for plants and seating, and to celebrate they put on a street party today.

It's clear the community are right behind it as we weren't the only volunteers there! Someone had left their Chelsea tractor in the middle of the street, despite parking restrictions, and some of the youngest volunteers took great delight in decorating it with chalk pens to help it fit in with the other decorations.

We helped put up bunting and decorations, carry things for storage behind the library, set up stalls, and reposition a clever (and heavy) stage on a trailer.

Oisin carried a watering can.

We all said goodbye before the party started, but rumour has in that a certain bearded politician living just across the border in Islington North was due to attend.
