FoGS purchase new Strimmer and Leaf Blower
Recently FOGS used a grant from Community Rail and some of our own funds to buy a leaf blower, a strimmer and a safety visor. These tools will make it easier for us to keep the area around the station tidy.
In autumn, the amount of leaves falling from trees has been issue and the blower will reduce the amount of sweeping required.
The strimmer will be used to clear paths to the triangular bug hotels and the bird boxes on the large grassy bank. It will also help to keep the vegetation under the roadside hedge under control.
