It’s late September and the Community Planter still looks lovely.
Despite the hot, dry weather our volunteers (Carol, David & others) have kept our planter looking blooming wonderful, with a flowering display from early Spring.
More fly-tipping, this time on Chadwich Lane; several refuse bag and litter strewn all over the place.
The rubbish has been examined by Worcestershire Regulatory Services who found no evidence that may identify the source of this rubbish.
Arrangement are being made to clear the fly-tipped waste.

On Saturday 12 September, 6 residents litter picked and washed signs as part of our Autumn Tidy; huge thanks to these fantastic volunteers.
Due to lack of people helping us, we were not able to do as much as we would have liked. If you have few minutes, can you clean a few street signs near your house? To clean the high signs, use a mop.
