Friends of Green Lane Recreation Ground

Glendale Kingston's Community development manager (Andy Hallett) and a local councillor organised the first working event for the friends of Green Lane. Andy created the posters for the event and put them up on all the entrances of the park. The local councillor advertised the event via social media and the online Friends group.

We had planned to clear 2 areas on the entrances to the park but unfortunately the London to

Brighton Ultra challenge clashed with the event so we had to move to a different area of the park.

We cut back and cleared an overgrown pathway that had been an issue for ASB in the park.

The turn out was great with 22 people coming to help. This included local residents, police and local councillors. This was a great start to the Friends groups working sessions and now with momentum behind them they should be able to look forward to growing the group and further enhancing their Green Space.

Glendale ran the session, supplied all the tools and removed 2 van loads of green waste.
