Since the last news update we have:
a) Continued with our twice monthly litter picks :
7 volunteers met at Bank Square on Wednesday 1st December. We covered the surrounding area including Bank Square, Green Lane, Church Street including the children’s playground on the Carrs, Bollin Link, Hawthorn Lane, Hawthorn Avenue and Parkway. We collected at least 8 bags
5 volunteers met in Summerfields car park on a miserable morning on Saturday 4th December. We covered the surrounding area including Colshsaw Drive and collected 11 bags and some recyclables (which were taken home and put in the grey bins)
Thanks to everyone who participated.
b) Continued with our solo picks.
c) Reported several incidents of fly tipping to ANSA. One of them, on Colshaw Drive, was not on council owned land and so ANSA informed the housing association.
d) Held a meeting to review the roles on the committee
e) After some further committee discussion about levels of insurance cover, we cancelled the recently purchased policy with Zurich and renewed with our original provider.
f) Started discussions about how we can support some year 9 pupils at the high school who want to do litter picking for the volunteering section of their Duke of Edinburgh award.
Wishing you all the best for 2022 and hope to see you at the January picks.
