Already, the group cleaned Roxanne Burnham Gardens and East Ruimveldt community play grounds and involved private citizens and the business community in the activity.
The activity which saw the removal of overgrowths of bush, from theses grounds is estimated to have cost $500,000.
The monies expended did come for Council’s coffers.
