I recently went out in my role with a Cabinet Member for the Environment, Recycling and StreetScene and got my hands dirty out in the local community joining Asda’s Community Team to pick litter in Graves Park.

Although council budgets have been cut massively it doesn’t stop local businesses and residents from helping to keep their local communities clear from litter and make them more attractive places to live and play. It’s great that the Asda Community Team get involved like this in their local communities and give something back, so I want to say a big "Thanks" to them too. Graves Park looks a lot better after this work".

Whilst out, I worked with Hilary Allen, Community Representative for Asda. She said: "We were delighted to be joined by Councillor Jack Scott for our litter pick in Graves Park, we think it is important to give something back to the local community that we serve and we are glad he shares this view".

If you know of an event or something that we could do to help, please get in touch
