April work parties

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

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.

Clean for the Queen - Saturday 5th March 2016

On Saturday 5th March community group Middleport Matters joined forces with IWA North Staffs & South Cheshire branch and CRT volunteers to undertake a Clean for the Queen event along the towpath and canal, plus the streets of the district. CRT supplied a small boat and trained volunteers who used it to remove floating rubbish along the Trent & Mersey Canal whilst Burslem Port volunteers picked litter along the line of the branch canal. A group of young people from the YMCA were dispatched along the towpath and the local Boys Brigade worked outwards from Middleport Park.
