Residents in Clifton and the surrounding area are being invited to a community ‘Big Spring Clean’ which is taking place at Fairham Brook, Clifton and surrounding pathways.

The clean up will take place on Thursday March 13 and any residents wishing to come along should meet at Silverdale Community Centre at 1.30pm.

The group will be lead by the newly appointed Neighbourhood Action Officers in the Clifton and Wilford Neighbourhood Management Team who will be joined by some local young people from Farnborough School and the local Community Protection Officers.

Equipment for the litter pick such as litter pickers, gloves and bags will be provided and there will be tea and cakes in the community centre afterwards to thank everyone for their hard work.

The clean up is part of the City Council’s Big Spring Clean campaign which runs throughout the city until March 28 and aims to demonstrate what can be achieved when schools, businesses, students, and local communities come together with the joint aim of making the city a cleaner place for everyone.

Neighbourhood Action Officer, Don Bulmer, said: "These events are a great way to build community spirit in the neighbourhood and an active commitment towards looking after the local environment. Refreshments will be provided in the Silverdale Community Centre afterwards and gives residents the opportunity to discuss further what the key issues in the local neighbourhood are with the Neighbourhood Management Team.”

To find out more contact Don Bulmer 8786243 or Elaine Stenson 8786245 (Neighbourhood Action Officers) or call into the Clifton Cornerstone, Southchurch Drive or simply turn up on the day
