April work parties

  1. Home

Mon, 28/03/2016 - 11:07 by Steve

Our April work parties will be on Saturday 2nd and Tuesday 26th. It looks like our main task will be to carry on litter picking and tidying the area next to the Trent & Mersey Canal where we worked during the Clean for the Queen event. We hope that this area will be improved as a walking route between Burslem Port and Festival Park, and are talking to the City Council, who are the landowners, about this project. We hope to have news about this in the next few months.

Work parties run from 10am to 3pm. Volunteers are welcome for a couple of hours or all day. Meet at Luke St, Middleport, Stoke on Trent, ST6 3LY. All tools and equipment will be provided. Volunteers are advised to wear old clothes, stout shoes and to bring waterproofs in case of rain and a packed lunch if staying all day.

For further information contact Steve Wood on 07976 805858 or by email steve@burslemport.org.uk

You can help spread the word about our work parties by displaying a poster in your local area or workplace. This can be downloaded here (PDF, 560Kb)
