Work in Progress on the Long Path

Some of the shrubbery beds in the park were tidied.  Lawn was edged near the roundabout, to keep the path clear.  The dead hedge on the cherry tree patch on the long path, that runs along the side of the estate, was tidied, which generated two large tonne bags of waste, and we are very grateful to Blue Frog, for taking these away for disposal.  The final sessions were focused on edging the long path, as it runs towards the roundabout.
