Tidy Up Session Medway Parklet

Mar 15, 2026 | Active Richmond, Educate Richmond, Healthy Richmond, Heritage Richmond, RR&BA

Community activation in action.

We held a little working bee and they did most of the hard work. Thanks to everyone who came along.
Feel free to pick any weeds as you walk by to Medway Bridge!
