The now twice annual village litter pick has become a popular community event, and one that turns in positive results long after it’s over. A clean space is less likely to be littered upon than one that is already covered in rubbish. By cleaning up the crisp packets and drinks cans from our hedgerows and gutters, the whole village looks better and stays looking better for longer.The Parish Council has organised another skip and Councillors will be standing beside it in the Memorial Hall car park on Saturday 20th March, ready to hand out litter pickers, gloves and black bags to anyone willing to offer an hour or two.

The litter pick will run from ten in the morning through to four in the afternoon (10h00 – 16h00). Councillors will be in the car park by the skip. Just come up and get involved. The only thing we ask is that you return the litter pickers as soon as you’ve done with them – we have only ten (the gloves are yours to keep).

Please come and join in, and help clean up our village. It’s a satisfying and simple way to put something back into your community.
