It’s lovely to see so many people using the parks across the city at the moment. Unfortunately this tends to mean lots of litter. Fortunately the GoodGym team, today comprised of Liz, Rae, Charlotte and me, were on hand to help! By chance, we bumped into Ed, the Urban Green ranger who is already planning to make use of GoodGym’s services and get back to regular collaborations across Newcastle’s parks. We were each armed with a bin bag and a litter picker. Charlotte and I battled with a wood louse-ridden hoodie and the wind (and won!) and Rae and Liz also filled their bags - judging by the number of alcohol bottles I’m not sure that everyone has been sticking to lockdown rules! As our time was up and we wandered back to the bandstand I was surprised to see Charlotte wielding a wheel! Someone must have struggled to get home - maybe they were responsible for some of the empty booze bottles!
GoodGym Newcastle wishes you all a wheel-y lovely Easter!
