Thank you to everyone who supported our community action day on Scarisbrick Road! Our Norris Green Neighbourhood Team joined up with the fantastic Penny Lane Builders, Lovell, Brabners and Ecogee to clear the area.
The team repainted railings and placed new planters to discourage fly-tipping. New grass seeds were also planted to restore the green space.
Local school children carried out a litter pick of the area and planted shrub seeds. In spring, fruit and vegetable seeds will be added here, providing food for residents.
“We have been encouraged, thanked, and supported on-site by the community at these events and hearing the children’s plans about how they will be involved with the garden moving forward made it all worthwhile,” said Elaine Gough, our Customer Lead for Norris Green.
Estate inspections and fuel vouchers were also given to residents. Skips were available for residents to use free of charge to dispose of bulky items.
‘We were thrilled to be part of this community gardening event. There’s nothing better than building relationships alongside working in customer homes and seeing our community thrive,” said Project Manager Gary Creighton of Penny Lane Builders.
We would like to give a big thank you to our community partners for their support, including The Dog’s Trust, Cats Protection, The Anthony Walker Foundation and Liverpool City Council Safer Stronger Communities.
As a reward for the children’s efforts, Merseyside Police and Everton in the Community are gifting them tickets to attend a match at Goodison Park in December.
