Sweep up for Santa

Whaley Bridge Canal Group

Whaley Bridge,SK23 7HT

17 Nov 2012

00:00

The Canal and River Trust (formerly British Waterways) will be out seeing what we're up to on our first activity, which happens to be cleaning up the basin area in preparation for Santa's arrival on the 30th November. So, to show them both what the town's all about we need as many volunteers as we can muster down there from 12noon till around 2pm on Saturday 17th November. Equipment will be provided (gloves, bags, pickers, secateurs etc) but please feel free to bring your own. Please wear sturdy footwear, steel toe caps if you have them. They'll be plenty of activities from light to heavy, from picking up cans, to holding bags, to lopping branches. If none of that tickles your fancy please come down and give moral support. Hey if you want to bring goodies down to the gang working there, tea/coffee/treats please do. If you've got a guitar or saxophone head down to the basin and entertain the troops. If you'd like more info please e-mail me.

Bradshaw Hall Clean UP Friends
This group intends to make the areas around Bradshaw Hall Primary School an example how our public open space, roads, play grounds etc. should look like in terms of cleanliness. Currently, the area is in a relatively good condition when compared with some other areas across Greater Manchester which have been terribly affected by littering, dog fouling and fly tipping. However, there are still a lot of work to be done and a lot of mind-sets to change that it's each individual's responsibility to clean up their own mess.

Weeley Wombleys
We started as Weeley Wombleys in 2017 as so many residents had expressed their concerns about the amount of litter appearing everywhere, and we are now part of Weeley in Bloom. There are several take-aways in the area, and the detritus was mounting up so much Tendring District Council couldn\'t keep on top of it. We litter pick on the first Monday morning of the month, and there is usually a hard-core of about 15 residents who pick regularly. We also encourage residents to keep their frontages as clear of rubbish as possible and the area has seemed a lot tidier since we started. We have been into the local School wearing our home-made WeeleyWombley costumes, together with McDonalds (our Corporate partner), to encourage the primary school children to litter pick, and to take their litter home with them. McDonalds also very kindly have a member of staff litter picking around the Village practically every day, which is very much appreciated.

Durham Coast
Durham's coastline is unique. Nowhere else in Britain has such a wonderful display of magnesian limestone coastal grasslands supporting a vast array of wildflowers and insects. Most of the coast is now designated as a National Nature Reserve with several Sites of Special Scientific Interest. The England Coast Path runs through the area and is becoming evermore popular with visitors. The beaches are improving after the impact of coal mining and coastal towns such as Seaham have seen a dramatic increase in tourism. The beaches still suffer from litter and are regularly cleaned by groups of keen volunteers. If you would like to join in please see the upcoming event section for more details. We can support groups who want to carry out their own event by supplying equipment (bags, litterpickers, gloves etc) and organising the safe collection and disposal of the rubbish bags after the event. Please pass this information on to anyone you think may be interested.
