Paradise 'Scoop the Poop' Agreement
The Paradise Community Action Group in the Paradise neighbourhood of Foleshill has worked hard over the last 12 months to build a really successful 'Scoop the Poop' agreement. This has involved Groundwork as the support organisation, but mainly the residents have worked closely as a group and as a set of streets to actively improve their area. New bins have been put in and bollards to stop parking on a green space. They are now working towards a community recycling programme including alleyway clearance.
