It was a decently large turnout for the monthly people's park litterpick in spite of the light rain showers. Five from GoodGym joined another bunch of Friends of the Park and out we went across the park and over the hill searching for the litter dropped by local park users over the last few weeks.

Altogether we got about 15 bags of litter plus a DVLA car clamp and left the park spotless for the weekend visitors.

The Hightown Pride event needed bunting put up in the square to give the day a festive feel and make passers by aware of the days events. Martin and David went to climb the step ladders and tie up the bunting first thing in the morning, ready for the day's festivities and then enjoyed the reward of a free coffee for our efforts at Lagoa Café!

Just a small crew of litterpickers this month on Dallow Downs, but a powerful bunch we were as the four of us tackled a new area for a change at the bottom of the hill.

First task was a clean-up around the playground at the bottom the of the hill, where half-term playtimes in the park had amassed a large amount of litter and the bins overflowed.

Second task was to head up the steepest hill and clear the litter from a small wooded area with the help of a handy extra-long litterpicker to get into the dense undergrowth.

2 Goodgymers joined the FoLP on their monthly litterpick. Although the numbers were small for this task the team still managed to get a fair amount of rubbish from around the park. Well done team
