Following our mighty effort on 28th July, when we collected 42 sacks of earth and rubbish from our roads and pavements, we need to continue the good work, so we’re organizing a LCA work party at 1400 on Sunday 17th Nov. Particular focus will be pavement encroachment by ivy and lopping of overhead branches on the south side of Lansdown Place West (LPW), but also the path to Park Street and the dingle on the south side of Lansdown Place East. However, if anyone knows of additional bits that need attention, please tell Simon Brand (Secretary) Email. Shovels and sacks will be provided by the Council. Meet opposite 4 LPW. Bring your favourite tools (eg loppers) and tough gloves.

Update: An Association Work Party continued the good work on Sunday 17th Nov, focusing on Autumn leaves, pavement and path encroachment by ivy and lopping of overhead branches in Lansdown Place West, All Saints Road and the path down to Park Street. 13 members took part: Adam & Anna Barnes, Nick Bishop, Alan Cox, James Freeman, Simon Heale, Rachael Hushon, Craig Jones, Robin & Sarah Kerr, Ian Lyons & Teddy Lam and Pete Maguire. Tools were provided by the Council, and this time no fewer that 96 bags were collected!
