Since the last news update we have:
a) Continued with our twice monthly litter picks :
5 volunteers met at The Parish Hall on a very wet morning on Wednesday 4th May. We covered the surrounding area including The Carrs, Cliff Road, The Bollin Link and Lacey Green. We collected 4 bags. We were delighted to welcome a new volunteer (Judith)
5 volunteers met at The Honey Bee on Saturday 7th May. We covered Altrincham Road and the area around the airport tunnels. We collected around 6 bags and some debris
Thanks to everyone who participated.
b) Continued with our solo picks.
c) Held a joint litter picking exercise with Hickory’s (one of our leading co-sponsors) on Tuesday 24th May. Despite the poor weather 5 of our volunteers spent an hour focussing on the area from Hickory’s to Waters and collected 6 bags. We then handed the reins over to a group of 12 from Hickory’s who focussed on the Lindow Common area. They had a great time collecting a further 6 bags, a burst tyre and a number plate. This was a very successfully joint exercise. Many thanks to Hickory’s for their ongoing support and for the courtesy coffees.
d) Liaised with the Halifax whose staff are planning on attending our scheduled pick on Saturday 4th June. Really encouraging to have another business getting involved.
e) Began an exercise to review our current insurance provider and explore alternatives
f) Updated the bag count on the website. We collected over 50 bags in both March and April. This includes a contribution by some high school pupils who are doing their Duke of Edinburgh award.
Hope to see you at the June picks.
