Volunteers are welcome to join us to litter-pick Sandy Lane and Tue Lane. Meet at Holy Family car park at 10 a.m where litter-pickers, gloves and bags will be available. I don't know if you would call it a successful day, but we collected 55 bags of rubbish in the Cronton area today! Four TCV volunteers cleared areas of Pex Hill and collected 5 bags.Thank you to them. We know it is a never-ending job up there. Thirty Year 5 pupils and two staff from Holy Family joined with two of us to clear Sandy Lane. This time we were supported by Halton Open Spaces as well as Knowsley. They provided us with bags, gloves and pickers which made the job of collecting 20 bags of 'Halton' rubbish much more efficient and we are grateful to them for collecting the bags when we had finished.
Knowsley also collected the bags of rubbish we left at the Knowsley end of Sandy Lane, bringing the total for that lane alone to 30! Six other volunteers from Cronton and Rainhill concentrated on Hall Lane, Cronton Road and Tue Lane, making our final total 55! Thank you to all the volunteers, both young and older and including our PCSTO Dave Rimmer, for your stirling efforts today. We got a bit of a drenching as well so even more thanks for sticking it out! Thanks also to Halton and Knowsley for removing the bags of rubbish so promptly. We do appreciate your support..
