Big Spring Clean - March 2015

Durham,DH7 7AG

14 Mar 2015

00:00

Litterpick around the Colliery Road, Bearpark Primary School and play area. Meet at the Primary School at 10.00 a.m. Residents of all ages from Bearpark, along with Councillors from Bearpark Parish Council armed themselves with gloves and rubbish sacks on Saturday 14 March. They collected around 50 sacks of rubbish from along the Colliery Road area of Bearpark, including the play area and local Primary School. Durham County Council provided the equipment for the litterpick which was arranged by Bearpark Parish Council to coincide with the LitterFree Durham Big Spring Clean initiative. The Parish Council often received complaints about littering in the village and the Big Spring Clean was an ideal opportunity to help raise awareness of the problem and take some positive community action.

We were delighted at the turnout and would like to thank everybody involved, especially the younger volunteers, who took real pride in helping make a small part of their village a much cleaner environment. .
