Volunteers cut back trees and planted new flowers to help restore an eyesore in time for Easter.

Worcester Park Baptist Church launched the community project, which is aiming to tidy up an open space left damaged and derelict after past maintenance works.

Kingston Council laid a new path, cleared up rubbish and arranged for the grassed area in The Avenue, opposite the rail station, to be topsoiled and seeded in February.

Volunteers worked to transform the site, which commuters pass each day, in the first of two planned days of action on Saturday, March 10.

Lucy Wright, Associate Minister of the church, urged more helpers to lend a hand with the project on Saturday, March 17, to ensure it will be ready for the Easter weekend celebrations on April 6 and 8.
