Middlewich Clean Team held a very well attended litter pick this afternoon. There total numbers of helpers were nine. This was fantastic as the weather was not all that good so thanks to everyone that came along. So much litter was picked up that Streetscape had to collect bags from:

• By the bus stop on St. Michael's Way
• At the bin opposite the entrance to Somerfield.
• At the bin by the library.
• At the bin at Brooks Lane near to the bridge.

The little sweeper was out and about and this gave the opportunity to ask the operator to give the area outside the Take A Way in Wheelock Street a really good sweeping and pay extra attention to the pavement on a regular basis. Which he did, such a nice guy that deserves our thanks.

Cricket Club Bonfire Night

On Sunday Morning (2nd November 2008) we litter picked after the Town Bonfire that was held at the Middlewich Cricket Club. 

Over the past few years the Cricket Club has made a donation of £50.00 to Middlewich Clean Team for helping them to tidy up but on this occasion we decided that we would give the gift back and this money will now be used by the junior section to buy equipment. This is true community working with community.

Bulb Planting

Middlewich Clean Team had an enjoyable time bulb planting when 22 people came along to help. A group of six planted 500 crocus in St. Michaels' church yard. 

Wil Morton brought his little digger along and removed the turf from a grassed area on Kinderton Street, this made the planting of hundreds of daffodils so much easier, of course we replaced the turf afterwards! The weather was lovely and sunny and we all finished off at the Boars Head for a drink and sandwiches. Bill Walmsley was on hand with his camera and he took the photographs of the action which are shown on this page. This event was funded by Middlewich Community Pride Group.
