Village Litter Pick

A big thank you to the 22 people who turned out to litter pick on Saturday morning.  Thankfully the weather was fine so a good tidy up has been done before the hedges and verges spring fully into growing mode. Many areas were not too bad but as usual Salters hill remains a litter hotspot.  Disappointing for residents of Pear Ash were the numbers of dog poo bags left in trees or by the side of the road.

Well done…

Here's a link from Which on what to do if you have been scammed:…

An artist is transforming a hill into a shimmering 'Ribbon of Light' using thousands of old CDs in tribute to the NHS. …
