Two of our fabulous volunteers Lee & Holly. Clearing up in the park after vandals smashed up the bin! Unfortunately our park is now victim to more and more vandalism …. The same day the children’s play area was vandalised and also some of the plants at the Bridge Road end have been vandalised. This is not also saddening but demoralising for our small team of volunteers who work so hard to try and make the park a safe and inviting place for residents and visitors

Hi folks,

Here’s Lee and Holly cleaning up Grays Park after some vandalism to one of the bins. They are both volunteers in the Grays Park Cafe and we think they deserve a huge thank you for all that they do! 👏🏼
