Spring Clean Whakatū Nelson 2025 started off with a massive project involving about a dozen volunteers giving Bank Lane the best cleaning in who-knows-how-long?!
There was vacuuming, scrubbing, spray-and-wiping, removing of sellotape and stickers, and general makeover brilliance!
We even gave the public seat a sanding down and repaint, and painted over the graffiti behind it.
Many thanks to our volunteers Helene and Tanya, to Arthouse Architects Ltd for bringing their staff along, and to Justin Wallington from A-Temp Recruitment for the hi-vis vests and gloves. Even Mayor Nick Smith came along!
Nice work too, by Trouble and Fox for cleaning their frontage – big thanks!
And to Blink Coffee Bar for the excellent coffee and aromas!
We hope that everyone enjoys Bank Lane in all its new shiny glory.
