Residents and the South Holland Junior Wardens taking part in The Big Tidy Up
Residents on the Royce Road estate in Spalding joined the South Holland Junior Wardens by getting their hands dirty last week, taking part in the ‘Big Tidy Up’ part of the nationwide campaign Keep Britain Tidy.
The volunteers joined partnering agencies L&H Homes, Lincolnshire Police, South Holland District Council, Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue, Groundwork Lincolnshire and LCC Child Services and picked up a total of 47 bags of rubbish - significantly improving the appearance of the estate.
Leanne Harding, Community Involvement Officer commented “The day was a great success, I was amazed at how quickly we collected the bags of rubbish – the residents and the South Holland Junior Wardens worked really well together!”
Ryan Ellis, Spalding Police Community Support Officer said
“The aim of taking part in the big tidy was to involve the
residents and the wardens, to improve the neighbourhood and also to
reinforce the community spirit in the area. I defiantly feel this
was achieved on the day. I hope now this will discourage people
from dropping rubbish in the future”.
