With half the hands of last week we went back to finish the garden clearance at Moorlands Community Centre. Tracey was very impressed with the amount we had cleared the first week and has lots of plans for the space that will benefit the local community including their preschool.

We split into two teams with Team one tackling the front of the centre. Tracey, Helen, Helen and Wilson tidied up the kerbs, weeded along the front of the building, and did a good litter pick. Meanwhile Team two, consisting of Sara and myself, continued to clear the astroturf (sorry bugs!) and remove nettles and brambles. I discovered dry brambles sprinkle sharp thorns everywhere so it’s best not the snap them until they’re over the bag! Thorns all disposed of, and with a final sweep done, the centre’s outdoor space was looking much tidier. We hope to be back again soon to help with further plans to develop the space.
