Alleyway Clearance

This morning I was delighted to attend an Alleyway Clearance organised by the Westborough Community Association (WCA) after receiving an invite from Chairman David Webb.

Members of the WCA were joined by ward councillors Paul Collins and Martin Terry in the clean up operation.

When I arrived the clear up was in full swing and a large amount of rubbish, which included dumped car parts, had already been removed. This community clear up is just one of many that is undertaken across the town by local community groups which is supported by the council by supplying the willing volunteers with the appropriate equipment and then disposing of the rubbish. This, I suppose, is the government's vision of Big Society in action.

If any other community group out there wishes to organise a community clear up event and requires further information then please get in touch.
