Previous Litter Picks
CLEAN-UP DAY REACHES ALL AREAS
Enough volunteers came along to cover all areas of Claygate on a very successful Clean-up Day in January. Large amounts of litter were pulled from verges, garden fences, hedges and elsewhere. The Parish Council thanks everyone enormously who turned out to help on a very cold day and Donna Holt, who chairs the council, says: “I felt a special kind of satisfaction every time a new piece of litter went into my clean-up bag and it was great driving around Claygate afterwards seeing the newly cleaned up streets.”
The next Clean-up Day is planned for May 4 from 10am-12 noon, meeting in the Hare Lane Car Park (where parking will be free for the duration of the litter pick). The collection of rubbish will be followed by a barbecue lunch with tea, coffee and juice. We hope to see you on the day!
