Litter Picking Event Summary – 25th August 2014

wilmslow clean team carrs august 20144 volunteers turned up for the third of our 3 litter picks scheduled for August 2014.  We even had a junior volunteer this time who did a brilliant job.

The focus was on the Carrs and surrounding area including the play area, picnic areas, memorial gardens, Manchester Road, Styal Road and Cliff Road.

There is a major problem in the Carrs with discarded baby wipes and irresponsible disposal of dog poo – despite plenty of bins in the area.

About 5 bags of rubbish were collected altogether.

Litter Picking Event Summary – 6th August 2014

Wilmslow Rubbish Collected On 6th August 20146 volunteers turned up for the first of our 3 litter picks scheduled for August 2014.

The focus was on Grove Street, Grove Avenue, St Anne’s Parade, Parsonage Green, Alderley Road, Albert Road and Chapel Lane.

A large number of cigarette ends were patiently picked up along Grove Street which seem to be left behind by the official street cleaning machinery.

We have noticed a lot of weeds along pavement edges and around public benches and planters.
Talks about this weed problem are in progress with the Town Council.

About 7 bags of rubbish were collected altogether.

Well done everyone !
