Our Clear Up Event Saturday 9th May – we have had lots of offers to help and we agreed the plan for our clear up event to take place 10.00 – 16.00 as follows:

  • Volunteers to gather at the area inside the second gate at the Peveril Road entrance at 10.00 a.m. and during the day, and we will assign tasks best suited to everyone. There will be a Market gazebo tent to provide cover for the BBQ.

  • Skips provided by Chesterfield Borough Council will be delivered Friday 8th. We decided to locate these at the Stand Road car park area on the upper site and the area inside the second gate at the Peveril Road entrance. We will confirm/control what goes in the skips.

  • Priority activity for the day – clearing uncultivated/seriously overgrown plots adjacent to Elm Lodge care home on lower site. Also on lower site the area to the right of Stand Rd entrance (Heather Wakefield, Paul Umney have already done lots of work with help from Peter Platts). Trampoline to be returned to adjacent house. On the upper site clearing the pile of unwanted stuff at the Stand Road entrance car park and adjacent areas.

  • Volunteers – we will be asking all members to look at what help they can give on the day.

  • Equipment – we will hire a wood chipper and provide other equipment.

  • Barbecue and refreshments – Mike Chadwick has agreed to organise this so we can make it a social event for all our members volunteering. There will be vegetarian/vegan option.

  • Unwanted and damaged glass – members will be able to dispose of glass from plots.
