Deneholme clean-up organised for next month

Following my complaints to the police and neighbourhood wardens recently about fly-tipping in the Deneholme area of Blackhall Colliery (see posts dated 3 & 12 April 2013) I have received further information this afternoon regarding a clean-up event in the area next month:

As discussed Kendra Milne (Street Warden) has received a complaint about the amount of rubbish/fly tipping in the Blackhall Denemouth area. This being the case the Neighbourhood Wardens assisted by the Civic Pride Team are organising a multi agency/volunteer clean up on Friday 10th May (times to be confirmed).

So far we have wardens, civic pride staff,  Clean and Green , English Nature (7 volunteers), Niall Benson and Louise from Heritage Coast, and Ian Goodwin (Pcso). I have contacted the environment agency and waiting for an email back from them so this partnership could grow even more.

As discussed it does fit very nicely with the coast watch scheme and is also a good example of partnership approach to a problem.
