A drizzly night at Sobraon House where we were tasked by Kingston Council to get rid of all the rubbish and cut back some large conifers in their garden so the residents with assisted living will be able to enjoy it for the summer.
No mean feat as it proved a mighty haul as the bulk had been illegally fly tipped over the fence. Plastics, metal, and broken garden furniture including an old swing seat that all needed to be removed.
Our hardy runners arrived and joined Kingston Councillor Anne Owen, a bit damp but in good spirits, and we all got stuck in to fill 3 huge haulage bags as well as lug the broken furniture to the collection point for Kingston Council's waste to collect.
We'll be back next week to chop up the green waste which is likely to fill another 3 huge haulage bags.
Could this be GoodGym's largest haul yet?

Kingston Stronger Together
To make sure our residents get the help they need during the coronavirus pandemic, the council has now launched a new online and phone service. This service is for residents who are self isolating because they have symptoms of the coronavirus or who have received a letter from the NHS advising them to stay home for 12 weeks. The council will also be directly phoning those we know are most vulnerable. If you are in a vulnerable group and cannot support yourself with help from friends and family we will also be able to offer assistance.
