Following a number of comments made a few days ago about volunteer litter picking issues at Crimdon I asked the clean and green team earlier this week to clarify collection arrangements for deposited litter bags. In response they've confirmed that they have arrangements in place to pick up volunteers' bags as requested, and also that they’re quite happy to continue with that practice.
And perhaps now is as good a time as any to thank again all our volunteer litter-picking groups and individuals - whether at Crimdon, Blackhall, Hesleden, Castle Eden or in other locations throughout our villages. They do a fantastic job in their own time supplementing the work of the clean and green teams and helping to keep our streets and open spaces safe and clean. Their work does not go unnoticed and is very much appreciated by the whole community.
