The event is promoted by ECCO in partnership with the Council’s Clean and Green Street Champions team,  who will be providing equipment.

Co-ordinating the day is Jerry Fitzpatrick whom you can contact on 07768 287197 or by email at jerryfitzmsp@gmail.com

The clean-up will kick off at 12 pm meeting.   There are two meeting-points where the equipment will be deposited:

• 51 Leslie Grove
• The grass area to the east of Cumberland Court, Cross Road and within its grounds.

 Available equipment includes wheelbarrows,  brooms,  litter-picks,  black bags,  cutters,  secateurs,  gloves.

 You can join the clean-up at any time between 12 pm and 3.30 pm.   If you can’t see the team on your road,  phone Jerry’s number.   Residents from any part of the ECCO area (and their friends and relations) are welcome to participate in the event.

The Big Afternoon Tea – For helpers and family members after the clean-up there will be tea and cakes at The Orchard,  112 Cherry Orchard Road,  at 3.30 pm.    (Our thanks to Tom, Gemma and their team for allowing us to use the pub.)

This is not just about cleaning up the area. ECCO is seeking to promote mutual help and neighbourliness in our community.
