“We got fed up with the place,” Kate Jillian Humphrey told the Olive Press.

“There was metal sticking out here, there and everywhere.”

She added it took a professional team ‘all day’ to resurface the car park with stones.

She said the money was raised through ‘barbecues’, ‘free haircuts’ and even a ‘sumo competition’.
