CAN you help Keep Altrincham Tidy?

Keep Britain Tidy have organised the Great British Spring Clean which runs from March 3 to 5, and voluntary group “Our Altrincham” are encouraging people to take part by loaning their litter picking equipment to anyone who wants to get involved.

Our Altrincham can provide high visibility vests, litter pickers, rubbish bags and a bag rings plus operational and safety advice.

To borrow Our Altrincham’s equipment, visit the team on the ground floor of Tesco Extra in Altrincham on Thursday March 2 between 6pm – 8pm. Equipment will be loaned on a first-come-first-served basis and must be returned between 6pm and 8pm on Monday March 6.

Sarah Walmsley, from Our Altrincham, said: “This is a great opportunity for local community groups or just friends and neighbours to get together and make a difference in their own neighbourhoods. We already have a litter picking schedule for 2017 but are supporting this national event so that anyone and everyone can make a positive contribution to Altrincham and surrounding areas.”
