Another good litter pick on a beautiful sunny morning.
8 volunteers met at the Parish Hall. We tidied up the car park, the play area, the skateboard park, The Carrs, Twinnies Bridge, Styal Road and Croft Road. One volunteer wandered into town and tidied up the walkway between Sainsbury’s and Parkway.
We collected about 7 bags of rubbish altogether.
Well done everyone!
The CleanTeam assisted the 7th Wilmslow Guides with a litter picking event organised by their leader Angela Ross.
We provided the equipment plus a couple of volunteers. Around 12 guides and several leaders did most of the litter picking.
The guides focussed on Lindow Common whilst the CleanTeam volunteers focussed on the surrounding area (Racecourse Road, Altrincham Road etc).
We were impressed by the enthusiasm of the guides. 7 bags of rubbish were collected and bagged.
Thanks to Angela and the guides for a tremendous effort. Hopefully we can arrange some similar events together in the future.
An extra litter pick was held today with a couple of Clean Team volunteers ably assisted by a year 9 student from Wilmslow High School who was volunteering as part of “Commonwealth Week”.
We focussed on Knutsford Road (from the Kings Arms down to Lindow Church), Alderley Road (from the Kings Arms to the A34 roundabout), Bedells Lane, Chapel Lane, South Oak Lane, Stoney Lane and Prestbury Road.
We collected 7 bags of rubbish.
Thanks everyone.

Around 10 bags of rubbish plus an abandoned traffic sign were collected.

The CleanTeam assisted the 6th Wilmslow scouts with a litter picking event organised by their leader Ian Ross.
We provided the equipment plus a couple of CRB checked volunteers. The scouts provided most of the man power – at least 12 scouts and 2 leaders.
The main focus was the pond near the leisure centre and the surrounding area.
The CleanTeam volunteers were impressed by the enthusiasm of the scouts and a large amount of rubbish was collected and bagged.
Thanks to Ian and the scouts for a tremendous effort. Hopefully we can arrange some similar events together in the future.
7 volunteers turned up today despite the miserable weather.
Some volunteers focussed on the area between the Honey Bee and the airport tunnels. It was noticable how much car related rubbish there was (hub caps, de-icer, scrapers, wipers, hoses, air filters etc). 11 bags were collected in this area.
Other volunteers focussed on the area between the Boddington Arms and the town centre (e.g. Altrincham Road, Gorsey Road, Hawthorn Street etc) . 4 bags were collected at Carnival Fields.
So – another good event with 23 bags of rubbish collected altogether.
Well done everyone.
Wilmslow CleanTeam and Wilmslow Town Council volunteers preparing for the litter picking event on 2nd April 2014
The first of Wilmslow CleanTeam’s “Spring Clean Week 2014” events was a great success.
We had a good turn out from both the CleanTeam and the Town Council.
Most volunteers started at the Boddington Arms and picked up litter on Altrincham Road, Racecourse Road and Mobberley Road.
Some of the volunteers started at the Honey Bee and focussed on Altrincham Road.
Thanks to everyone who turned up. Well done to everyone who managed to make it through both events this week !
Another good collaborative effort.
