Route Saxon Close, Turchil Road, Cawston Grange Drive, Cave Close Play Area then bridle path around the back of the estate. Rejoined top end of Cawston Grange Drive both sides back to Turchil Road. Nicholas, Saivaran, Nicole, Sunathee and Andy. Total of 3 bags. 1 hours. 40 minutes Route Saxon Close, Turchil Road, Cawston Grange Drive, Cave Close Play Area then bridle path around the back of the estate. Rejoined top end of Cawston Grange Drive both sides back to Turchil Road. ***Dog Poo plastic We found more than 30 bottles beer 🍺 tins 🥫 Milk bottles🥛 fizzy drinks, broken beer bottles, Foam, plastic sheets and cigarettes packets 🚬 but the thing that discuses us and my friends the most was bagged dog 🐕 Poo 💩 in the hedge rows. Would have been better not to have bagged it at all as dog poo is biodegradable.

Lazy people who call themselves animals lovers but destroy environment with plastic bag around estate, when there are waste bins for dogs within easy walking distance is disgraceful. Also having cleared an area of litter its shocking how quickly the litter returns. I think they council should display on the lamp posts the maximum cost for drooping litter as they did back in the 1980s. May make people think twice. .

Cronton Pathways Project
We are a revitalised 'clean-up' group of some 20 years' standing which incorporated collaboration with other agencies such as the Environment Agency, TCV, Highways and Groundwork as well as improving communication with our LA, local farmers and schools. Our aims broadened to include two new elements, namely education on litter and LA backed health walks. The latter has enabled people to enjoy our rural pathways, which are now regularly litter-picked, and at the same time build up their stamina in walking for health. In 2011, through fundraising, we were able to purchase two community notice boards to further publicise local events and amenities and our aims. We were very grateful to Groundwork Merseyside for installing them. It continues to be very satisfying to see people reading the notices displayed there and to see some new helpers on our litter-picks and new walkers on our health walks as a result. Both noticeboards were renovated this year, 2018 with help from a grant from Cronton Parish Council, for which we thank them. Our LA, Knowsley MBC, has always been supportive but In recent years, due to funding cuts to LAs we have had reduced contact with them, although they continue to help us by removing the bags of litter we collect on our biannual litter picks. We forged links with one of our neighbouring LAs, Halton, with a view to liaising on littering of our border areas. They provided us with litter-pickers and bags. This has made a big difference to our effectiveness. Updated 24.3.2018

Saltwells Clean & Green
We aim to clean up and maintain an urban nature reserve and ancient woodland right in the heart of a built up industrial area. Saltwells Woods and nature reserve is well used and well loved, and was recently saved from having a housing estate built on it, but sadly also neglected. With a renewed vigour now the woods are saved, we vow to make the area as CLEAN & GREEN as we possibly can.
