MKB Solicitors took part in a clean-up event in Barnsley Town Centre organised by Barnsley Council last month, along with Barnsley College and Community Payback.

As part of that effort we are pleased to report that in just 4 hours the following was achieved:

• • Approximately 6 black bags filled with rubbish
  • 1 wooden fence and 1 wooden bin store repaired and painted
  • Exterior walls of 4 premises painted
  • 2 lamppost columns touched-up with paint
  • 2 windowsills re-painted
  • BMBC operatives cleaned down the side of the Civic with a high-powered pressure-washer
  • Neighbourhood Services attended (prior to event for practical reasons) with a mechanical cleaner/sweeper to clean the stone setts

Next time you are near George Yard or Hanson Street take a look at our handy work – but keep it tidy please!

Thank you to:

• Town Hall for allowing the use of their toilets
• Aroma Café for providing free hot drinks
• OO Bar for providing free refreshments to the Community Payback team
• Regent House for allowing free use of their car park
• The businesses for providing the paint and for their co-operation
