Saturday 31st October, Fiona Bruce MP and Middlewich Clean Team Chairperson Janet Chisholm BEM, were promoting the Clean Team at Middlewich's Makers Market.
 

The Middlewich Clean Team can be contacted via this website, Facebook and by attending any of our events however the Makers Market provided another opportunity for Middlewich people to find out about the Clean Team and what can be done to keep our town a nice place to be by chatting face to face to happy Clean Team members.

On Sunday 25th October, we were well supported for our Annual Community Bulb Planting which is just as well as we had hundreds of bulbs to plant at the bottom of Brynlow Drive and our hope that 'Many hands would make light work' became a reality.

Middlewich's Mayor Ken Kingston and his consort Sue Johns presided over events as the enthusiastic volunteers of all ages got to work planting the bulbs in the rows of prepared holes.

This is a community event and anyone that is willing to join in is always welcome. It well be lovely to see a plendid display of blooms to welcome in the spring next year.

Janet's lemon drizzle cake is famous in the Middlewich Clean Team and beyond so a job well done was duly rewarded with the mouth watering delight. Many thanks to everyone involved in making our annual bulb planting possible one again.

The Middlewich Clean Team is a voluntary group with a vision to develop and promote a culture of pride in the town and the community by working towards a litter free town and a pleasant environment for all to live in. We are a positive, forward thinking group who are prepared to work hard to achieve our aims.

As well as planting bulbs and organising litter picks, we also encourage and support individuals to help us in whatever way they can, whether by picking litter in their immediate area, joining group litter picks or by highlighting problem areas. Anyone can help us and if you would like to know more you can find out how to contact us here.

Katy Lee Remembered

Members of Middlewich Clean Team have been busy tidying Katy's Wall over the summer. Two members Darren Ketley and Vicky Perez trimmed, cut back, and weeded the area on Lewin Street which was built in memory of one of the founder committee members, Katy Lee, who tragically died in a road accident when Clean Team was in its infancy. 

A group gathered this evening and new bark was distributed too finish the job. Katy would have loved to have been along side us laughing, litter picking, and having fun keeping our town looking clean and tidy. We are now in our thirteenth year and are always looking for new members.... we currently have over 200 people who look after an area close to their home, we supply litter pickers and tabards for those wishing to join our group.
