Before (it actually looked worse than this when we first started):

After:

We have now filled a whole builders bag. We also have more more next time. If anyone on Hundley Way or The Green wants to donate their green bins, then that would be great.

Thank you for the support Liz!

The bag has arrived, so dependent on the weather, we will clean the rest of it up this weekend.

I have a bag that can be used. I could bring it over on Sunday. It is provided by WODC who will collect when told it is full and where it has been left. 
I’m thrilled you’ve worked together to do this. Neighbourly team work is at the heart of the town council’s new initiative Charlbury Community Works! I worked with residents from Hill Close and Sandford Park to start clearing The Slade of weeds and to understand why the public footpath to Dancers Hill has been flooding. We’d be grateful if othe groups of residents who will work to remove large weeds and soil on pavements. DM me if you want to discuss priorities and need bags.

A couple of weekends ago myself, my sister and another neighbour formed a working party to clean up the path in front of the houses on The Green that back onto Hundley Way and also the alley that joins The Green to Hundley Way. 

We got a lot done and managed to clear a lot of weeds, debris and litter, making the path safer as well as creating more space along the alley, particularly around the metal barries that lead onto Hundley Way. Two people can now walk along the alley side-by-side!

Unfortunately we did not have enough room in our respective garden waste bins to dispose of the green waste, so we had to leave some of the green waste in piles along the path and the alley. We made sure to push it to the edge, particularly along the alley to allow for access. In spite of leaving the green waste, there was a lot more room to walk down the alley that there has been for months.

Sadly, this evening I found that someone has dumped the ivy that we removed from wall aligning the alley along the verge of Hundley Way. I assume this was done with the best of intentions, however, we had cleared that part of the verge so we will now have to redo the work. The piles were there for a reason, not because we couldn't be bothered.

We are currently waiting for a bag from the Town Council. Hopefully this will turn up soon!
