A DETERMINED group of volunteers are looking for like-minded folk in the community to roll up their sleeves and help give Mossley a big spring clean.
The ‘Massive Mossley Makeover’ has been organised by Mossley Litter Bugs to help make the town sparkle.
The group organise community picks most weeks all year round, mostly in Mossley but occasionally on tour to grotspots at the request of members.
They are an entirely voluntary group but receive funding from Mossley Town Council, local charities and businesses to ensure a supply of litter pickers and bags.
The Litter Bugs would like to get as many residents as possible involved in the initiative between Saturday, March 29 and Friday, April 4.
The group describe it as “a week of people-powered action to give our town a big Spring Clean” and need people to pitch in to do their bit.
They have suggested some 20 minute ideas where residents can easily join in – by litter picking outside their house or on the way to the shop; pledging to keep in front of their business clean; cleaning a nearby road sign; or removing old cable ties from a stretch of railing.
Alternatively, residents can also join an organised blitz by picking with the Mossley Litter Bugs; organising a school litter pick or picking with their own community group. Equipment and advice can be provided by the group.
To get involved, you can get in touch with Mossley Litter Bugs via the group’s Facebook page or by sending a message to 07823 322726.
