Parkmore community restores neglected property for Mandela Day
Story 1
Parkmore residents, volunteers and local businesses came together on Mandela Day to restore a derelict property that had become an eyesore opposite Montrose Primary School.
Volunteers spent the day painting the boundary wall after the property had stood abandoned for years, with all materials donated by local sponsors at no cost to the community association.
The project has helped improve the area's appearance while showing how communities can work together to create safer and more welcoming neighbourhoods.
