Crowing us off the track
5 GoodGymers made their way to help the Mill Hill Park Residents’ Association in Ealing.

Elisabeth, a resident of the Mill Hill Park Conservation Area and Acton's litterpicking champion, was delighted to hear that five GoodGymers are coming to her neighbourhood to help Acton Litter Collective keep the local streets tidy. Having so many extra hands, she decided to expand the usual litter battlefield to the roads on the other side of the High Street, towards Churchfield Road: Burlington Gardens, Birkbeck, Alfred and Grove Roads. How did it go?
On the way to their destination, Lauren, Louis, Sevan, Steph and Kash were distracted by the sight of a messy area around a bin on Church Road - surely the site of a recent crows' feast! Steph and Kash swarmed around that spectacle of untidiness and tackled the problem. Louis and Sevan dealt with the chunkiest pieces of litter in the nearby Pocket Garden while Lauren scouted Oldham Terrace on the way to Uxbridge Road and collected pretty horrid litter without blinking!
After a walk through High Street, interrupted by spotting plastic bottles or chocolate wrappers that were just too apparent to leave behind, the team eventually reached Grove Road. They cleared the street in less than ten minutes and noticed that it was time to come back and return the litter-picking equipment to Elisabeth. Or maybe not? Lauren and Louis, inspired by Elisabeth's initiative, were interested in getting their own kit to clear their neighbourhood further West in the borough. The leader of Acton Litter Collective was delighted to hear that and offered them litter pickers and hoops for their own clean-up endeavours.
