News Update : 29-SEP-24

Since the last news update, we have:

a) Continued with our twice monthly litter picks :

11 volunteers met at Summerfields on Wednesday 04-SEP-24 including some volunteers from Wates Builders who are refurbishing the fire station. We covered the surrounding area collecting at least 11 bags.

9 volunteers met at The Farmers Arms (Chapel Lane) on Saturday 07-SEP-24.  We headed off to cover a wider area than normal including Altrincham Road, the town centre and the Alderley Road bypass roundabout.  This was because the immediate area had undergone a solo pick during the week. We collected 12 bags and some recyclables (which were taken to home and put in the silver bins)

b) Continued with our solo picks.

c) Explored a funding opportunity from Tesco.

d) Lent some equipment to “Praetura Group” (a financial services company with offices at Barons Court on Manchester road).  6 of their volunteers did a litter pick as part of “World Litter Day”.

e) Provided some bags to residents of Colshaw Farm.  Riverside now own Colshaw Farm estate and the land in the valley. Some volunteers are getting involved with a tidy up exercise. They are also in discussions with Riverside management to provide funds and resources to repair a footpath and a couple of footbridges in the valley.

f) Reported some fly tipped tyres to ANSA
