On Saturday morning 11 members of the village trust managed to collect over 20 bags of litter from the village’s streets and open spaces. Thank you for taking time out of your weekend.
Thank you also to all the pupils at Shotley Bridge Junior School who collected litter from the school grounds and adjoining play park, before their Easter holidays.
150 pupils from Shotley Bridge Junior School were invited by the village trust to take part in an environmental poster competition again this year. Easter eggs were awarded this morning, by Sue Shaw from ‘Blooming Shotley Bridge’, to the winners of each year group.
Despite the lack of recent sunshine and warm weather, the spring tubs in the village are looking colourful in full bloom.
I took these photos in the sunshine yesterday so that we can show the Northumbria in Bloom judges on 22 April, if the daffodils and tulips are past their best by then.
The Trust’s annual litter pick will take place this Saturday morning 5th April.
Volunteers will be meeting between 9.00 and 9.30 in the car park next to the Golden Flower. Litter pickers, gloves, hi-viz vests and sacs will be provided.
If you would like to help tidy up the local area but cannot make this Saturday, consider taking a plastic bag and gloves when you go out for a walk or keep the area near your home litter free.
