VOLUNTEERS and staff from Chester Aid to the Homeless (CATH) and Sustainable Blacon have joined forces for some summer cleaning at Blacon Greenway and Old Station.

John Buchanan, Mandy Dawson, Patrick Hemingway and Malcolm Stanton joined Stephen Perry, Shaun Dutton and Gerald Watts from Sustainable Blacon on a fruitful day tidying up the area.

Gerald Watts and Dave Oxley, who live locally and keep an eye on the area, were really pleased to welcome the CATH team.

Gerald said: “It’s a fantastic place and so many people stop to admire it. Dave and I enjoy doing our bit for Blacon. It’s wonderful to have the extra help from CATH and we’ve enjoyed meeting the team.”

Stephen Perry from Sustainable Blacon added: “We really welcome groups and individuals from all corners to help out. The special atmosphere of the Old Station brings people together and families in particular like the animal sculptures on the Greenway.”

Locals and passers-by stopped to admire the site and their handiwork.
