Thank you to everyone who joined in the Kingsmead Community Clean-up on Sunday 11 September. Over 35 people took part and there was a great community spirit. We collected 40 sacks of litter and retrieved 2 bikes, 2 scooters, an exhaust pipe, road signs, a traffic cone and a basin from the river. We are very grateful to the four councillors from St Stephen’s and Northgate for helping us.
