Happy to give you a hand. Weather looks pretty grim Sat afternoon - so maybe
Sunday?
I’m around all weekend either way - 07803163544

Hello neighbours,
This is really a message for people on Everton Road. :)
It's that time of year again... The lovely trees in Endcliffe Park are sending
us big piles of leaves! There's no point waiting until they've all come down -
the last leaves usually fall in January, by which time the fallen ones have
been rotting, turning the pavements into a real health & safety hazard!
Ramen and I have done our usual thing - we started clearing the top of Everton
Road last week, and we've managed to clear about a third of the leaves.
Unfortunately, my back seized up in the process, and I've been on painkillers
since then, so not terribly mobile. And Ramen is working during the day, so we
can't make the best of the dry weather at the moment. (This is a fairly
weather-dependent job; no point doing it when it's raining... the bags get too
heavy.)
If the weather is dry this weekend (hopefully my back will be ok by then),
would anyone be willing to help on Saturday afternoon to clear the rest? It's
much easier to do it as a two-person, or multi-person, job (I've also done it
on my own, so I know).
Rossington Road also had more than its fair share of fallen leaves this autumn
- the pavements are so slippery that we just have to walk on the road when it's
wet (to the annoyance of drivers who use our roads as a shortcut, haha :)).
Once we've got Everton Road cleared, were happy to help out there, too.
We've got a big builders' bag that we fill up (half), then drag it up the road
and tip the leaves over the wall, back into the park where they came from - if
anyone wants to borrow that for Rossington Road, you're welcome, just give us a
shout.
Cheers,
Fides
