Litter, Litter Everywhere...?

Many of us have noticed the build up of litter around the town and beyond over the winter.  We may not be able to do much directly to prevent it but we can all come along to Crosfield Hall on Saturday 13th April to make the streets and windblown corners litter free for the start of summer.

There's coffee and chance to chat at the end.

Put the date in your diary NOW!
