On Thursday 3rd and Saturday 5th July Whitwick Parish Council held a litter picking event for the Love Your Neighbourhood week.
We asked for volunteers to join us in helping to clean up areas within Whitwick, of which we had a great turnout.
We would like to say a huge thank you to Michael and his volunteers from Whitwick Scouts Group, Marlene, Lisa and Susan from Whitwick Historical Group, our Councillors Andy Roach , Peter Moult , Anthony and Audrey Barker, and Ray Woodward. Thank you to the local residents who also joined us, Jenny and Colin , Susan, and Brian. Lastly our staff here at Whitwick Parish Council for dedicating their time planning the event and also litter picking on both days.
Whilst out cleaning we enjoyed engaging with local residents and all your words of encouragement and thanks were greatly appreciated.
We collected a total of forty eight bags of rubbish, broken glass and foliage, which was kindly collected by Waste Transfer Team of NWLDC.
We hope to make this litter pick gathering even bigger next time and would like to invite more Whitwick residents to volunteer in the future.
If you would like to get involved then please email your details to Clerk@whitwickparishcouncil.gov.uk.
