4 bags from today's pick and a sorting of the bins in the compounds to keep everything sorted for bin day.
Lovely to see the flower beds looking so good as we wandered about.

Can't thank RJ UK Contractors enough for their time and work cleaning our pavements and parking bays. They had been power washed last year but you'd never tell! Certainly nowhere near to this standard or level of clean 😍.
What a difference!! Can't recommend enough. No more slippy patches and blockwork looks like new.

Thank you again for supporting our community and helping to 'love where you live'.

Great litter pick today.

Filled 3 bags and sorted the bins in the flat compounds

Everywhere all tidy again and the flower beds looking good after our volunteers spent time yesterday dead heading and weeding.

Thanks for all you do ❤️🏡

Plenty of litter collected this week on and around the scheduled pick.
Lots of ongoing work keeping the flower beds looking their best by our volunteers.

Not so quick pick today. Sorted some overflowing bins to stop the gulls picking at them.
Will contact the council regarding what looks like a sofa/chair inside chopped up in 2 recycling bins.
Bins now sorted correctly for collection and litter picked 3 bin bags of rubbish that the gulls had dragged out and a smashed mirror 🙌

More cleaning and clearing. That's all the Anson Street compounds and the path cleared and weeded from top to bottom.
What a difference! Keep scrolling for today's before pictures!

The bin collections still suffering off the back of losing Shaun in March 😩 .
Bins taken out of the compounds by the refuse collectors but rarely returned. Left in the alleys/surrounding streets for residents to walk up and down the estate searching for, some of whom are not physically able.
This week we litter picked and tidied the compounds.
Then our lovely resident and volunteer Tracy has made it her mission to sort the rest, making sure every compound has its correct bins in and also sorting the bin contents to make sure they get emptied.
The compounds themselves are a health and safety nightmare, thick with moss and slippy and wet underfoot.
Today Tracy has set out to do more to ensure residents can safely get to their bins without risk.
What a transformation!!
Come on Westmorland and furness council, get ahead of this.
I think Tracy deserves a medal!!

And it doesn't stop.
More flower beds on the estate filled with the new compost and some new donated bedding plants added.
The freshly dug over planter by The Ambrose looking really smart after the new additions.
Wow. What a lot of work. The side and memorial gardens have been cut.
If we could get a donation of another lawnmower and a strimmer, we could achieve even more around the estate.
The group has funded one lawnmower themselves and some hand edging shears but there's a lot of ground to cover, so a strimmer would really give us an edge 🙏
Thank you

Busy week of digging over, weeding and adding the new compost to the planters on the estate.

What a difference our volunteers Tracy, Julie and Pauline have made 😍

So lovely to see the bees visiting and enjoying the many flowers that have now replaced the trampled, stone filled beds.

Busy week for the volunteers after the group received a much needed donation of 15 bags of compost to top up the planters on the estate 🙌

Not many flower beds left that haven't been taken over and adopted now on the estate.
This was another one Tracy dug over today next to the Ambrose.
If anyone wants to join in and help maintain the planters, just message the page and we'll arrange to meet and provide gloves and advice 🥰
