Minstead Post Covid Litter Pick

Andrews Mare car park, Lyndhurst SO43 7GP, UK

25 Nov 2021

10:00

Die to Covid, we had to put a lot of our community events on hold as we had to concentrate on keeping our business afloat. Now that things are returning to the "new normal" we are getting back into our communities and doing what we love! We joined with our friends and residents in Minstead to clear rubbish around the road leading from the A31 towards the village. .
