7 Goodgymmers along with Neil from Foxwood Residents' Association took to Foxwood park to clear the debris of branches in the park, chop them up and construct a wooden wall.

Tooled up with a saw, secateurs and tree loppers we took to the park lit up by portable lights and headtorches to get to work. We made light work of the smaller branches gathering them up in minutes to cut down to size ready for wall-builder Neil.

Jackie was awarded the Cape of Fame for her 50 good deeds pictured below and John battled with Lianne to win the honour of cutting the larger branches.

By 7pm, our side of the park was clear of the discarded branches and a wooden wall was constructed against the park fence to stop dogs and extremely small children getting through. A job well done!
