Essex University students, street wardens and residents
STUDENT volunteers got their hands dirty helping paint the Forest Road Meeting Hall on Colchester’s Greenstead estate.
Essex University Union volunteers, better known as the V-Team, were helped by Colchester Council street wardens and members of Voices for Greenstead residents’ group.
Keith Rowland, volunteer manager for the student union, said: “This was our way of giving something back to the community and showing people the positive side of having a university on their doorstep.”
Paint and brushes were provided by Colchester Borough Homes, which leases out the meeting hall.
