VILLAGE ENVIRONMENT GROUP<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n Scratch Team Shifts Rubbish<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n A scratch team shifted rubbish and cut back vegetation at the bus stop on Station Road. The police turned up after reports that a group of old men had wandered out of Glen Burnie Lodge. One look at us dispelled that notion, we think our attire gave it away.<\/p>\n We were pleased to see Shady Williams get off a bus while we were there. Apparently his daughter had given him a smart watch to encourage more walking. He had set off early on a jaunt and ended up in Cowbridge, because the watch didn\u2019t tell him when to stop. Being from Edwardsville originally, he had never been that far West before, so was lost. Fortunately he had his bus pass and a kind soul put him on the right bus. We realise that people were trying to be kind, when they offered to assist us over the bridge, just because we were leaning on the railings for a breather. One of the elders took it to heart and to prove his fitness ran over the bridge. We had to go back for him later when there was no one around. Nothing like an old fool.<\/p>\n Because of the nature of our work in public spaces, we have to comply with the drug testing protocol. Thankfully the swabs proved we all had the right drugs in our systems. Unlike those foxes, allegedly.<\/p>\n If we can remember, we shall rendezvous at the village green on July 14th.<\/p>\n VILLAGE ENVIRONMENT GROUP Scratch Team Shifts Rubbish A scratch team shifted rubbish and cut back vegetation at the bus stop on Station Road.
