One of the aims of Clean Team is to liaise with other organisations for the benefit of our community. Janet Chisholm has successfully arranged for the Community Pay Back Scheme to re-paint the St Michael’s Way underpass. The scheme used two teams of workers from the Probation Service to do the work. The special anti-graffiti paint was provided by Cheshire East Council.
In June Clean Team invited Brownies and Cubs to help plant Busy Lizzies along the path through St Michael’s churchyard. Thanks to Cheshire East Council for preparing the borders, to Community Pride for funding the plants, and to the Mother’s Union for providing refreshments - and of course to the Brownies and Cubs who did all the hard work.
A Flower Festival took place during the Folk and Boat Festival weekend. Many local businesses and organisations provided wonderful displays inside the church. Clean Team members decorated the porch with flowers and a team jacket. Many thanks to all who provided foliage and helped with the display.
Over the summer Clean Team lent short litter pickers to Brownies, Beavers and Cubs and accompanied them on picks along Brooks Lane and along the towpath near The Salinae. This encourages young people to take a pride in their town, and they all showed great enthusiasm.
Clean Team were out in force at the Rose Fete in May and Folk and Boat Festival in June. For the Festival Maxine Wrench liaised with the new Cheshire East Council to supply extra litter bins at strategic places around the town and camp sites and with the help of a Cheshire East employee kept bins emptied on a regular basis throughout the weekend.
