Bike Park Reported To Council.. We Volunteered To Clear It For Half Term!

[@FlawlessCleaningServices]

So much to say about this one! We saw this reported on the council and thought we'd take a look.. we got permission to clear the leaves. I would have loved to have pressure washed the area as algae was everywhere! Big thanks to Jack from Valet by JDJ for stopping by, Thanks to Centurion for supplying the bags too! Let me know what you think of this one.. and have a great weekend

[@evapreu3011]

This definitely should be pressure washed. I don't get why they have a problem with it?

[@FlawlessCleaningServices]

It's because of insurance and who will be liable for any accidents/damage

[@teddie_schaefer1963]

​@@FlawlessCleaningServices I would think they would be concerned about someone getting hurt because it isn't clean. Aren't they just as liable for injuries like that?

[@nevinkinzel]

​@@FlawlessCleaningServices You would think they would be concerned with the slip/fall hazard that giving it a wash would clear up.

[@patriciabeckett5263]

What a wonderful young man you are and your Dad must be so proud of you love the way you both muck around but the jobs get done ❤😂 you have a lovely family love watching the boys having fun there should be more people like you the world would be a better place.😊

You and your dad deserve a community award for all you do for your community. You really make a difference in your area. Its a shame all communities dont have people like you, our country would be a better place for all. Your boys are growing up so fast !! KEEP UP THE AMAZING WORK X

[@kellyredinger5974]

I am surprised that this isn't done yearly by volunteers. Regardless, great job!!! That was a lot of work.😊

[@kathrynwitte3398]

Are you a part of your communities’ cleanup crew? There are so many people decrying the lack of others doing anything as if that makes the compliments better somehow yet it’s always *others* who aren’t helping.

[@craftymamma3392]

@kellyredinger5974 Really? Do you volunteer your time to clean up your community?. I would say this clean should be done by the local council rather than volunteers, Ben did mention he'd had the councils permission to do this work so my guess is that it was put there by them. I guess some people can never give compliments to those who go above and beyond for the community. I appreciate you, Ben and Paul, and uncle. (sorry I can't remember his nane).

[@garnettoll9317]

Those leaves were never ending! Good on ya!

[@wobla9699]

Why on earth should there be community volunteers? We are crippled by ever increasing charges from councils who we are paying to keep our land clean and tidy. 😢

[@nevinkinzel]

Maybe next time you can put some flyers out or talk to the kids that use the park and see if any would be willing to do a community clean-up day. Fantastic job as always, Ben! Hopefully they get a cleaner in there or let you guys do it!

[@DianaRehfield]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@vickiellibby7051]

Maybe get a restaurant to provide a meal to volunteers?

[@dianelee1299]

I was also thinking the same thing. If people are going to use the public space they could all donate a little of their time to keep it neat.

[@turihenderson7755]

That's...that's a lot of leaves. They should pay you to come back and pressure wash it as a thank you!

[@avacadman2155]

I think your council should award you a “Help in the community award” I received one some years ago. It just nice to be thanked and it drives others to get involved too. 👍👍👍👍👍

[@Helen-l3i]

What a job! Such a beautiful park and no regular maintenance by the Council, shameful! Your dad cracks me up everytime! Your two sons have grown so much.

[@jeanstrickland2445]

You guy’s don’t leave anything undone, clean the graffiti off and all the other extra stuff you do. Your community is blessed to have people like you. I swear them boys have grown since the last time I saw them. Looks like they had a blast! See you on the next blessing 👋👋

[@MaureenLeadbetter]

Another amazing transformation. What a credit you are to your community! I can't think of anything more exhausting than shovelling soaking wet leaves. And, then, having to drag them so far away so they wouldn't blow back in. No wonder you were cream crackered!! Very well done, another local place cleaned up for the kids to enjoy! What a delight your boys are and growing up so fast. 😊❤😊

[@garycooke4071]

Don’t usually put comments. But what you do is sound. And you and your dad is a boss relationship. Love your work. Love to the family 👍

[@garycooke4071]

Just cos it looks easy I know it’s not. Respect your graft 👍

[@ca6177]

I was so encouraged when I saw the young man on the bike pick up the cup and help with the leaves! Even if he broke the shovel!😊 nice young man!

[@sandyhayden-bristow1382]

That was back breaking work doing all that! As a gardener, I can attest those leaves have been building up for years, shame on the local council for not caring where people play and walk. Kudos to James, Paul, your Dad and you for caring so much and making a difference. My word those kiddies of yours grow in leaps and bounds. Have a lovely weekend dear. 🤗

[@FlawlessCleaningServices]

It sure was, thanks for your support means so much, great fun with the boys

[@chhetlam4847]

since it was a job for city council the park was neglected for so long, and if it was a privately managed place the council would have slapped multiple fines for negligence for the same. it was such a back-breaking job to do. .. I always love your cleanup videos, so looking forward to next episode of barbara.❤

[@catherinewilliams3850]

Exactly, leafmould is a fantastic soil conditioner, I love gardening. Ben and his family have put that council to shame with all that hard work.

[@007sladegreen]

You all worked so hard and made a real difference. Your community is so lucky to have you all.

[@gwens3604]

Another brilliant job- big shout out to you, dad and those who stopped by to help. Hopefully the council can finish what you’ve so brilliantly started by treating the moss to prevent any more slip hazards.👍👍

[@alisonscannell3721]

That was a huge area to undertake Ben & Paul. I won £30 on the lottery and I was looking for a worthy cause so I can pay it forward, Barbara's will be that cause so I'll hold on to it until I get the gofundme details ❤

[@coppertopjohnson9782]

My God...I was tired just watching you and your dad (and Jack and your uncle) clean up this mess. 🥱It was massive!!! I was shocked by how large the area was and then all the leaves, I am surprised it didn't take you longer. Great job, guys. 👍🏼👍🏼 I see Sir Theo and Sir Arthur are truly daredevils. Love seeing you and the family spending time together. Thanks for sharing. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@FlawlessCleaningServices]

Thanks it was a beastly one, yes Arthur’s the biggest dare devil

[@janemurdock6988]

Wooo hooo!! Yeah! Waffler, why didn't members from the council show up and help? That's sinful. The council should be ashamed. Thanks to all, like Jack, Centurion, etc. The council taxes should PAY you to pressure wash it. Thanks, Dad!!

[@emily.letsendbslintheuk554]

Looks great now 😊 i really really hope your council appreciate what you do, these are all jobs that they are meant to do, love how they put our council tax up yet we get alot less for it 😞 Huge thanks to you all for what you do 💖

What a workout!! It was incredible having others showing up and lending a hand.

[@yvonnesaunders8770]

Well done that was a challenge, and you all didn't give up. Let's hope they make the use of it why the schools are off, get them outside. Having a laugh along the way. Boys loved the jumping, looked lots of fun,no fear.

[@user-sg7ej9nh3j]

Hi Ben, I'm a newer and instant fan from the US. You truly are an inspiration. You and your dad are so kind and it's great watching you work together. This project was crazy. Where I live, the parks have maintenance staff to keep the parks clean and the city is responsible for walkways. With their jobs comes commercial equipment to make their tasks much easier. You and your dad, quite the contrary, did all of this work by hand... it's absolutely incredible how much work you do out of the goodness of your hearts! What's even more special is the time after, when you make sure to spend time with your wife and children. Years from now, when your boys are all grown up, what special memories they will have memorialized in your family outro's. That's such a priceless gift. Bless you and your family, Ben. You are truly one of the good ones.

[@jonathanglanville5265]

That was a lot of leaves and wet. I know l'm a professional gardener. If the council had put some wider gates in, they could of got a mini sweeper in there,plus it would clear some of the the moss. Poor design but they knew where for you,to put the leaves?too keep the weeds/brambles down. Well done,guys!!

[@lindsayhedges2838]

[@doreenfell9480]

[@darilynkrupp6309]

I used to do landscaping and one job we got was a home with 3 acres (12140.6 sq meters) of gardens and walkways. It had masses of deciduous trees, so a lot of leaves. It hadn't been cleared in over 4 years. It took 4 of us 3 days to clear just the walkways and driveway. So I can sympathize with the work you all put in. In the end your hard work left the park looking amazing.

[@marlaabe7254]

When I saw the size of that paving and how many leaves there were, I was astonished you had volunteered to clean it. I would have wanted a whole crew, not just the two of you! I find my clean up jobs always take at least twice as long as I estimated. But great to see this restored to a safer use!

From the big things like the leaves to the little things like wiping off the graffiti off of the poles and the little extras, like the mud on the path, it's very much appreciated. So from all of us, I'm sure. 🎊 THANK YOU! 🎉

Ah, Ben, you inspire those around you to help out when they can. Two of your "old reliables" - Jack and Uncle Paul - made an appearance! And those bags donated by Centurion were a huge help on this one. I know they'll be seeing a lot of use in the future, as well. Warms my heart to see some companies like Kress and Centurion step up and help you be able to help others. ❤️ Seems like no matter how tired you are at the end of a job, you and your Dad are still in such high spirits! Your antics make us laugh along with you. Hate to tell you, Ben, but Dad put your half-arsed demo of the leaf jump to shame. He went full bore into those leaves and face-planted! 😂 And the bloopers with that squeaky bike had me in tears! Loved the "Cruisin' for a bruisin'" ad lib! Dad is such a card! Beautiful family fun time at the end. Your boys never cease to amaze me with how lovely they are. Hi to Sam - looked like she was having fun, too! 🩷
