2017 February -- paving

December  2016

The Standard drive/ Pitcairn Rd parking 

was eroded, rocky and the underneath of cars

was being scraped.

Blairgowrie Primary School offered me

a huge amount of interlocking paving bricks

A very kind contractor offered to donate

half of the costs and to organise the

laying of the paving .

The sub contractor came in and work began.

Donations came in from BCA, CRA and all the users of the park

 

Definitely-

one man's rubbish is another man's treasure

The bricks were loaded

 and brought across the road to the parking

area - what a huge pile!

The team started digging and levelling the ground

The paving bricks went down so quickly

 and before Christmas it was done .

What a wonderful way to end the year!

 Thank you to everyone involved

January 2017

John Barrow offered me the use of a TLB to clear and
level the other part of the parking area.

The TLB arrived

In a few hours it was all done.



Top Dam

This huge poplar tree split down the centre and damaged  a

few walls and electric fences of  houses on the park's perimeter

City Park  cleared those branches and

Parkrun cut a path through the branches.

 We still have to have the tree cut up and removed-- another big job

 That's all folks --
