10:00 am: Second Spring Litter Pick10:00 am: Second Spring Litter Pick – We have detected two more areas in the parish, which are much in need of some rubbish clearance. This will be easier to do, before the grasses and the brambles start to grow again with the Spring warmth. Thus, we have arranged a ‘SECOND SPRING CLEAN’ on Saturday, April 14th, from 10.00am – 12 noon. We will meet on The Green as usual, and will work in two groups. Wear appropriate clothing and footwear, and bring your rubber gloves, please. Do come and join us once again, please, and help all of this parish to be really clean and green this year! Liz Hunter, PT committee member The Village Green |
