Painting the town Red*

Three GG Yorkies met on a bright but cold morning to join a group of other volunteers along with York BID to help improve the streets of York by repainting some street furniture. We started off with a safety briefing and a run down of what tools and equipment we'd be using and then we got into groups to cover the various areas in the local vicinity. We opted for the snickleways (also known as alleyways, passageways) group and headed over to Nether Hornpot Lane and parallel Finkle Street.

After carefully putting down some newspaper to protect the pavement, we got to work painting some white doors, whilst another volunteer tackled a black drainpipe nearby. Trying not to get in the way of passing pedestrians, we soon had the first set of doors finished and moved down the snickleway onto the next. At this point it was time for me to leave but the rest of the gang stayed on a bit longer to tackle more doors and drainpipes.

There will be another York BID session next week which GG are helping with again - sign up here: https://www.goodgym.org/v3/sessions/cleaning-and-repainting-street-furniture-at-the-york-bid-rejuvenation-day-round-2

Oh, and it was also my 600th good deed today!
