Local volunteers tidy up the Parish!

Answering the call to join a parish litter pick around Rixton-with-Glazebrook (RwG), resulted in 16 local volunteers pulling together to remove litter from the lanes and verges.

Picking up litter dropped by others is not something people relish doing, but by volunteering to do so, everyone living in the Parish benefits from a nicer place to live and enjoy, as well as those visiting the area.  On Sunday 11th February 16 volunteers, 3 living outside the Parish, together gathered 46 bags of rubbish as well as car parts, and an old cone and other items.

The litter pick, organised by the RwG Community Plan Group, is one of 3 organised litter picks per year in the Parish. These, as well as several individuals who regularly pick up litter, keep the Parish looking loved and cared for. The Group wish to thank all those that lend a hand in making the Parish a better place to live.

It’s particularly great to have a clean up at this time of year, just before the Spring flowers appear, which are out in abundance around the Parish in March and April.
