Meeting point – corner of Blake Road and Addiscombe Road

Goodgym (a charity which combines community service with keeping fit) has for several years helped to keep The Boulevard in shape.   The Boulevard was the early 20th century name of the stretch of the Addiscombe Road running from Bisenden Road to East Croydon Station which has planted areas on the edge of the footway.

Goodgym members will put in about 50 minutes hard shift removing litter,  ivy,  weeds and overgrowth of shrubs from the planted areas.   They will not intentionally destroy flowers and shrubs. In addition,  there may be work in the Joan Pick legacy bed.   Andrea Perry recently renewed the borders and planted some flowers and shrubs which will delight us in the soon-to-arrive spring months.

Community members and friends are respectfully invited to assist in Goodgym’s endeavours to make East Croydon tidier.   Please come and join them.   Please feel free to spread details on social media. Loppers and shears will be available,  as well as litter-picks,  protective gloves, hi-vis jackets and much more.  Do bring your own equipment if you have it.

I shall be there and look forward to seeing ECCO friends and neighbours, and indeed anyone from any area willing to get out on what is likely to be a dry and mild March evening and join the community effort.
