Dodging the showers of Storm Amy, members of the Romsey Amnesty International group donned gardening gloves and wielded secateurs and spades to tidy up Romsey’s railway station.
There is already a group who meet regularly to keep it in good order but Fay Fleming, Chair of the local group, explained why they’d also been keen to help the 3 Rivers Community Rail Partnership.
‘Amnesty’s theme this year is Community as a Superpower and we hope that, by leaving Romsey station a little better than we found it, people will see that working together as a community is a force for good,” said Fay.
“People are rightly proud of Romsey and feel a responsibility to care for it. In these unsettling and rather divisive times, we believe that civic pride can create common ground and a sense of unity for all who those call wherever they are living home’.”
