Working for a cleaner Warrington

12 March 2012

Congratulations to Warrington volunteers for their recent hard work to keep their local environment tidy.


The volunteers split into different teams across the town, cleaning green spaces in areas including Birchwood, Oakwood and Gorse Covert. The teams managed to pick up an incredible 91 bags of litter from the local woodlands in total.
 

Nigel Balding, founder of Small Woods of Oakwood Partnership (SWOOP), which participated in the event, said: "Our team of 10 people had a very productive event clearing out 14 big bags of rubbish from Oakwood Woods including three broken blue bins and a variety of wheels, pipes and bits of metal. Some of this litter has been bugging me for several months and it's a great feeling to have helped to removed it."
 

The clean-up was also supported by other organisations including Stronger Together in Warrington, Friends of Gorse Covert Mounds and Clean up my Community-Warrington.


The volunteers were joined by a film crew from Penketh High School, who videoed the event as part of their Young Enterprise project.
