who should i spot on my travels this morning but paul sampson(right) with a team working on those steps that are used by people, ponies and naybe cattle, but i haven't actually seen them do it.
another team were working on putting up a replacement fence and gate. the old one fell victim to a mixture of vandalism and old age.
hard physical work being carried out by enthusiastic volunteers.

another unwanted problem that wccp have is litter, this picture does not show the full extent as wind has blown stuff off in all directions. a family decided to camp on the football pitch and just leave what they didn't want behind.
presumably they are responsible for this too.

There looks like a fridge door near Bridge Street bridge so if anyone wants one they know where to look. I presume it has floated down river, been there about a week so has quite a modern art look about it with it's collection of other rubbish.

I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.
