Report written by Dave White
This evening we were back at Elm Road playground for the second time, finishing off the work we started last week.
One of the walled edges of the park has around 10 panels that at one point in time were all covered in beautiful mosaics. Unfortunately most have now deteriorated so only 3 complete panels remain. The task was to scrape clean and sand down the panels (with no mosaics) to enable a local artist to paint it with a much more attractive mural.
Tonight's GoodGymers walked, cycled or ran to the task and soon got stuck in, most of us knowing what to do after last week. It was a messy job but great to make some more progress and we're all looking forward to seeing the final result after the artist has completed their work!m
We were very honoured that the Mayor came to pay us a visit and he got stuck in, once he had removed his chains, and helped to scrape and sand like the rest of us.
We also welcomed Nikita on her first task - thank you for joining us! Hope to see you at another task soon.
Friends group of a local park are working together to improve the park for all local residents and users of the park.
