Greenisland railway adoption group ‘GRASPS’ the nettle
7th August 2007:

Moore and Victoria Rossborough from Carrick.
The gloves were on and tools at the ready today as the ‘Greenisland Railway Adoption Scheme Project’ (GRASP) got underway.
Kicking off a three-day weeding and litter-lift initiative, the intergenerational GRASP community group also plans to repaint the station and work in partnership with NI Railways to discourage anti-social behaviour.
Having recently secured funding to the tune of £94k from Children in Need – the highest award made in Northern Ireland – GRASP is currently working with NI Railways to provide a meeting place for young people, with a new community outreach centre expected to open in September 2007 at the railway station site.
