This was originally scheduled to begin last week on Tuesday 27 February but was postponed until today because of the bad weather.
Unfortunately the continuing poor weather conditions and the toll taken on services and staff last week during the severe and disruptive weather has meant that the clean-up campaign has had to be put back another week and will now begin on Tuesday 13 March at 11.30am, meeting at the Aged Miners' Homes.
Please note the message received from the event organisers. We will publish further details as they are received closer to the start of the event.
Hi All,
Just wanted to make everyone aware that due to the inclement
weather over the past week and the remaining poor conditions the decision has
been made to push back Spruce Up Blackhall until next week.
I know the conditions are improving but staff are having to
catch up on work that was missed due to the weather last week so it is felt
there could be a higher impact next week with the full complement of staff
Apologies for this late change (again) but hope this is OK
with everyone.
