02/07/08 - Hope team spring into action at Millennium Green
BRIGG Millennium Green has never looked so good, and it's all thanks to a team of volunteers who turned up in the rain equipped with mowers, strimmers, spades, forks and wheelbarrows.
Hope '08 from the Brigg Churches got together with committee members and helpers to form an all-age working party and the end product was just what was required according to chairman Chris Dodsworth.
"We had a three-pronged attack, painting the furniture, clearing the paths and digging around the shrubs before laying wood chippings," he said.
"They had even secured the services of a new volunteer to look after the landing stages which persistently gets vandalised."
The working party did not go too mad with the mowers, though, purposefully leaving the green as a mix of mowed and natural areas where wildlife can flourish. "It is not meant to be lawn," said Chris.
"The area at the Scout Hut end is where we keep it short and we encourage people to use that part."
Everyone, committee and volunteers, was delighted with how well the spruce-up had worked out.
