Clean For The Queen - Video Report

On 5th March 2016 we were joined by members of the Middle-Wyches WI and the Middlewich U3A to help to make Middlewich a tidier place that we can all be proud of. Over 30 people met up at Town Bridge car park where they split into groups for an hour's picking at a variety of previously identified areas around Middlewich.


The aim of the "Clean For The Queen" is to clean up Britain in time for the Queen's 90th Birthday on 21st April and to this end other nearby areas were also covered by clean team members such as Croxton  Lane. Out and about nearby were Moston Litter Pickers and the Canal and River Trust too.

If you would like to join in and help the Middlewich Clean Team the please contact us, details are on ourContact Us page.

Clean For The Queen, An Hour That Made A Difference

Last weekend we were joined by members of the Middle-Wyches WI and the Middlewich U3A to help to make Middlewich a tidier place that we can all be proud of.

Over 30 people met up at Town Bridge car park where they split into groups for an hour's picking at a variety of previously identified areas around Middlewich. This was part of the nationwide "Clean For The Queen" for which we were pleased to have the company of Fiona Bruce MP.



Everyone cheerfully worked hard to improve the appearance of the areas they covered, one example being the garage area near to Cledford Primary School. Incidentaly a number of discarded soda syphon charging capsules were found at this location.






Many areas around town had been identified as being in need of similar attention and we covered most but not all the them so there is plenty more work to do. Some of the teams were caught in action at the following locations:

Clean For The Queen - It's This Saturday

There will be an extra-special litter pick this Saturday 5th March. We are taking part in the national event organised as a birthday gift for Her Majesty the Queen. Clean Team members will be joined by members of the Women's Institute and the U3A to help to make Middlewich a tidier place that we can all be proud of. We are expecting lots of extra helpers on Saturday and will split up into teams to cover as much of the town as possible.

All equipment will be supplied and there will be an experienced person guiding each team around the town. Meet at 2pm at Townbridge Car Park. We will litter pick for an hour before making our way to the main Tesco Store where Tesco have very kindly offered to put on light refreshments for us all.

Everyone will be made very welcome and it promises to be a very sociable event, so please come along and help to make the event a success.

If you can't make Saturday (or even if you can, but want to pick some more), then don't forget we have our usual litter pick on Monday 7th March, meeting at Morrisons Car Park.
 

Very best wishes,
Janet

Spotted A Site Needing A Clean-Up?
