Grab your gardening gloves and your shovel - there’s a community clean-up coming soon.
Wokingham residents are invited to help clear up Finchampstead Road footpath next month in a bid to help scooters and buggies use the entire pavement.

Currently, excess soil and leaves are clogging up the path, meaning it is not wide enough for everybody to use safely.
Sarah Kerr, Evendons councillor and organiser of the community clean-up, said: “I am delighted to be working alongside the Wokingham and Evendons Neighbourhood Action Group (NAG) and Wokingham Borough Council (WBC) to organise this community clean-up.
“We hope this event is the first of many in Wokingham borough, demonstrating how we can work together as a community to take pride in our area.
“We want as many local residents as possible to pop-down and help.
“Come on down and get stuck in.”
HOW THE COUNCIL WILL FIGHT CONTROVERSIAL APPEAL
The clean-up, which is said to be the first of its kind, gets underway at 10am on Sunday, October 13, at the junction of Eastheath Avenue and Finchampstead Road.
WBC will supply brown bags for garden waste and will arrange for soil to be removed, with the NAG providing high-vis jackets for those who come along.
Volunteers are asked to bring gardening gloves and spades or shovels but spare equipment will be provided too.
