Councillors for the Golborne and Lowton West Ward are calling on local residents to participate in this year’s National Spring Clean campaign, a nationwide initiative aimed at tackling litter and improving our community spaces.
The campaign encourages people to organise their own litter picks – whether it’s just on your street or at a local park – helping to make the whole area look better through community action.
By registering online at nationalspringclean.org, you’ll receive a cleanup kit containing bags, gloves, and high-visibility vests to safely conduct their litter picking activities.
If you’re interested to take part, but don’t neccessarily want to organise your own event, the local councillors, Cllrs Gena Merrett, Yvonne Klieve and Susan Gambles will be holding a community spring clean on Wednesday, 2 April in the Derby Road area of Golborne, starting at 10.30am. Everyone is welcome to join in and help make a difference.
The councillors also have a small number of additional litter picking equipment available, including litter pickers and gloves, for anyone who wishes to borrow them. These can be requested by contacting the councillors via their Facebook page.
Don’t forget: If you do organise your own litter pick as part of the National Spring Clean, please let us know, and we’ll help by sharing your event here on Lowton and Golborne News.
