Following an office briefing session, the team descended onto Grosvenor Road with litter picks, high viz jackets, tea making facilities and sweets for the kids. At first it seemed it was going to be a quiet affair. How wrong could they be! The team knocked door to door and within an hour loads of children appeared to join in the litter pick. Rubbish filled two skips, a third skip was delivered and a Council van also made a few trips to the refuse site with large items such as beds and fridges. By late afternoon everyone was exhausted and happy to see the children off to a lunch and disco at the local community centre. This was their reward, together with lots of cream eggs, for their help in litter picking the estate and surrounding area.

All the partners involved agreed the clean up had been a great success. Not only did it get rid of a lot of rubbish from homes on the estate, but it highlighted the importance of disposing rubbish responsibly. It was also great to see the residents working together improving the environment in which they live.
