A load off everyone’s mind!

A few hours of volunteering to help out a local Parish Council

Jamie and Braden Job

Two of our Landscape teams based out of Andover, recently undertook a clear up operation in the picturesque village of Upper Clatford, Hampshire.

The Parish Council had cut back overgrown vegetation which had begun to obstruct the public pathways in the Above Town area and needed a helping hand to clear up and dispose of the cuttings.

Aster Group manage housing in Above Town, and their Estate Services Department brought the issue to our attention. We offered our services free of charge and undertook the work on a voluntary basis, so that the Parish Council would not incur any costs. This project is typical of the work Q3 teams embrace as part of our commitment to delivering social value in the communities in which we operate.

So, while Elliott and Paul carried out the routine verge cutting and maintenance which is part of our contract with Aster Group, step forward Jamie and Braden to tackle the task of removing the vegetation and debris.

The team had the place spruced up in short measure and had a truck load of waste for their troubles. This was all removed from site and disposed of sustainably – 100% of the vegetation was recycled.

All in a day’s work for our Landscapes teams!
