Inaugural Keep Stoke Tidy Litter Pick

Mayne Street, Stoke-on-Trent ST4 4QY, UK

22 Jan 2022

10:00

*Change to Location* - please see below if you are planning to attend. Hello Everyone, thank you for checking out our new group. In the video that we posted yesterday (please see our Facebook Page) we explain that we have found a massive problem area of litter in Hanford adjacent to the River Trent path between the Hanford Roundabout and Sideway. As this area will only be accessible during the winter (until the hedges grow back) we have decided that it would be sensible to focus on this area for the next month or so. Therefore - we will be changing our proposed litter pick on 22nd January to focus on this area - rather than meeting at the Hanford Co-op. So if anyone wants to join us on 22nd please let us know so that we can arrange a time and meeting point. You will need sturdy boots/wellingtons as the terrain is a little tricky in some places. We will also be going this Saturday (8th) if anyone has a couple of hours free and wants to join. Best wishes and Happy new year. .

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

Sanctuary Shaftesbury Reading
This estate clean up was organised by Matt Evans, Housing Officer of the area, and involved staff from the local Office, and contractors. The clean up involved clearing communal areas inside the flats, garages and the outside area. Going forward, it is hoped that a Residents Association will be formed, that will carry out litter picks and maybe start up a weekly gardening club.
