Spring into Action

September 2, 2024

Spring is in the air! With the warmer weather and longer days, many of us are out and about, enjoying our beautiful shared spaces. From parks and playgrounds to roads and footpaths, it's the perfect time to ensure our shared spaces are clean, safe and great to be in.

Here are a few things to look out for this spring:

Overgrown Vegetation and Fallen Branches

With spring comes rapid plant growth, and while that means more green, it also means more maintenance.

Overgrown vegetation can obstruct footpaths, block road signs, and hide potential hazards and fallen branches after spring storms pose a danger to pedestrians and cyclists.

Clearing overgrown vegetation and fallen branches helps keep footpaths clear and ensures everyone can safely enjoy their outdoor activities. Plus, it keeps our spaces looking neat and tidy!

Invasive Species

Spring growth can sometimes bring invasive plant species that threaten local flora and fauna. Look out for unusual or rapidly spreading plants that might not belong.

Early detection of invasive species allows for prompt action to remove or manage them, protecting native plants and animals and maintaining biodiversity in our community spaces.

Damaged Playgrounds and Park Equipment

Spring brings playgrounds and parks back to life, often uncovering damage left behind by winter storms.

With the increased use, wear and tear on equipment like swings, slides, and benches can quickly become noticeable.

Snapping damaged or broken equipment is vital to preventing accidents and keeping our playgrounds safe for children.

Flooding and Water Hazards

Spring showers bring flowers, but they can also lead to unexpected flooding in low-lying areas, parks, or footpaths. Standing water can damage paths, create slippery surfaces, or even attract unwanted pests.

Identifying and Snapping areas with water hazards helps local Solvers manage drainage and prevent potential accidents.

Loose or Missing Footpath Tiles

As the warmer weather brings more foot traffic to our community spaces, loose or missing pavers in footpaths and outdoor spaces can pose significant trip hazards.

Snapping these issues helps ensure timely repairs, keeping our shared spaces safe and accessible to everyone.

Overflowing Bins and Litter

With the increase in outdoor activities during spring, overflowing bins and litter can become more noticeable. No one likes to see rubbish piling up in parks or along footpaths.

Keeping our spaces clean is essential for both environmental and aesthetic reasons. Snapping overflowing bins ensures they are emptied promptly, keeping litter at bay and encouraging a clean, pleasant environment for all.
