A community clean-up day takes place in Waverley

Cllr Miro with litter pickers at the clean-up day

Rother Vale Ward councillors Amy Brookes and Firas Miro used some of their Community Leadership Fund to provide a community skip for local residents to use, as part of a community clean-up day.

The skip was located on Stephenson Way and was available for residents to use free of charge.

Alongside the skip, Councillors held a community safety stall and gave away free community safety items.

This event supports two ward priorities for the Rother Vale Ward; contributing to a clean and green environment and developing communtiy safety.

Waverley Community Council joined us on the day and hosted a  community litter pick.

Despite the cold and foggy  weather, the skip was well-used.

A large number of volunteers took part in the litter pick, with several bags of rubbish collected on the day. This work is important and helps to keep local areas clean and tidy.

Working with you to help build communities that we can all take pride in is a priority for the Council. Find out about news and events in your area by signing up to receive 'News from your Neighbourhood' e-newsletters, by clicking here.
