CAR PARK CLEANUP

Twelve volunteers from the Lawn Community Association and the Lawn Community Church put in about 30 person-hours one Monday morning sweeping, racking, pruning and chopping. There was a lot of laughter, and the coffee with hot cross buns were very welcome!  We filled numerous green waste bags which South Swindon Parish Council swiftly removed for us. We hope local residents and car park users have noticed the difference.

There is more to do, so if you can help, please give us a ring on 01793 651806 and find out when the next effort will take place.
