Residents Clear Sunray Service Road

Report by Chris Hayes, Alexandra Ward Conservatives

Residents on the Sunray Estate, Tolworth turned out en masse on Sunday 5 May 2013 to action a community clearing of the service road between Hazel Bank and Meadway.

The action morning was successfully organised by Sunray and Egmont Residents Association (SERA). The clear up gathered up over 60 black sacks of various rubbish types; Cllr Hudson and Chris Hayes took 17 of them off to the recycling centre for disposal.

Residents and SERA volunteers cleared the undergrowth and rubbish that lined the sides of the road. Tea, coffee and soft drinks were provided throughout the morning.

Cllr Richard Hudson and Chris Hayes were on site to lend a hand wielding shovels and wheel barrows. (Richard is the one with the wheelbarrow, wearing sunglasses. Ed)

Cllr Hudson said: “It is marvellous that so many residents turned out for this action, we are going to try to make this a regular feature.”

Chris Hayes added: “This was a great showing of community spirit and action.”
