A heartfelt thanks to the hundreds of people aged 3 to 90 from across Kingston and beyond who've given up their time over the last 4½ years to help keep this much-loved park cleaner, collecting 186 bags of rubbish (70 recycling) across 28 litter picks between Jan 22 and Aug 26.
🍃The end of an era. And what an impact we made together! ♻️ An incredible turnout today for the final litter pick in its current format, with 40 litter heroes collecting 9 bags of rubbish (incl. 2 of recycling) from Fairfield Recreation Ground.

An extra special litter pick on Saturday as the Kingston Mayor dropped by Fairfield’s new Nino Cafe before joining volunteers. Our 29 litter heroes collected 6 bags of rubbish (incl. 2 recycling) & made sure the 2 large knives found were safely handed over to Kingston Police. All welcome 9 May!

Great to see two new cycle hangars arrive in Norbiton! With each one smaller than a single car park space yet providing secure cycle parking for 6 bikes, they'll be available for local residents to book (£50/year) via www.bikenest.co.uk from 10am on 15 July. #GreenerKingston

After 32 litter heroes helped us collect 4 bags of rubbish in March (2 of recycling), why not join the next Fairfield litter pick on Saturday 10 May from 2-3pm & help us keep this popular park pristine. #Kingston #LoveWhereYouLive

With the KCAH night shelter operating across two central sites this winter in Kingston, there's still a chance to help. This video shows my shift at The Hub when it first opened. If you can volunteer your time or make a hot meal for their dinner, visit kcah.org.uk/winter-night...

So pleased that Kingston Council & Norbiton councillors have responded to local resident concern by relocating the Kingston Cemetery defibrillator to the other side of the pedestrian gate, ensuring it's easier to see & can always be accessed 24/7. A potentially lifesaving move. ❤️🩹🙏

Having seen utility companies use the limited green space around the Cambridge Road Estate to dump their materials for long periods of time - seemingly with impunity - we definitely agree that more needs to be done by councils to protect local trees.
