Since the last news update we have:
a) Continued with our twice monthly litter picks:
Held a litter pick at The Honey Bee on Wednesday 4th August. We covered the surrounding area including Altrincham Road down towards the airport tunnels. Lovely to see some very young helpers.
Despite the poor weather, 9 volunteers met at Bank Square on Saturday 7th August. We covered the town centre including the area around the railway station, the Leisure Centre, Church Street, the roundabout near the King William pub, Manchester Road. At least 12 bags were collected. We were delighted to welcome 3 new volunteers to this pick.
Well done everyone.
