Thursday14th, Friday 25th and Saturday 27th March 2011 meet at Holy Family car park at 10.a.m. Volunteers most welcome. Litter-pickers, gloves and bags provided. The Cronton Spring Clean this year took place over three days in March, aiming to clear as much litter as possible before the new spring growth covered the litter that had collected during the winter. On Thursday March 24th we worked with the BTCV team on Pex Hill to clear the pathways and hedgerows that run from the top of Pex Hill to the M62. On Friday 25th we had one of our most successful days yet when over fifty local volunteers, including our local PCSTOs Dave Rimmer and Mike Hogg, worked with a team from Groundwork Merseyside to clear over sixty bags of litter and items of fly-tipping from the ditches and hedgerows along Sandy Lane. Special thanks are due to a group of children, staff and parents from Holy Family Primary School who showed just what can be achieved with a fabulous team effort. Thank you.
On Saturday 26th another group aged from seven to seventy turned their attention to Penny Lane and Tue Lane ~ an area which is sadly often blighted by fly-tipping and litter dumped from passing cars. In total over the three days we cleared over 100 bags of rubbish which, with the help of Knowsley Council, was successfully removed by the end of the project. .

These groups are near to you in case you want to contact them for advice, to offer them support or, for example, to share equipment with them.
Here at CleanupUK, we want to help you to take LitterAction! Wherever you live in the UK, forming your own community litter-picking group will help to keep your community safer, more friendly and free of litter. It’s lots of fun too. Why not muck in and join us?
