Cleaner, safer, greener Sacriston

Published July 30, 2010.

A community clean-up will give people in Sacriston the chance to find out more about efforts to improve their neighbourhood.

Durham County Council’s civic pride team will be leading a litter pick around the town between 9.30am and 11.30am tomorrow (Saturday, 31 July).

Members of the community are being asked to lend a hand during the event, which is being supported by local councillors.

Participants will also be able to find out more about the council’s work to create cleaner, safer and greener communities across the county.

The event follows a survey by the Safe Durham Partnership, which found that residents wanted to see more done to tackle litter in their area.

Volunteers are asked to meet at 9.30am at Fulforth Community Centre. Refreshments will be available throughout the day.

Ends.
