Help Welshpool have a spring clean

Litter has been one of the burning issues of the winter, and next week the problem will be tackled head on with a Keep Welshpool Tidy Week.

Welshpool Town Council together with Keep Wales Tidy are organising the week-long spring clean from March 12-18 so that local groups, clubs and residents can take a proactive approach in tidying up the town.

Anybody interested in getting involved are encouraged to attend two organised events.

Monday, March 12: The week begins with a litter pick, meeting at the Tourist Information Centre 10am.

Sunday, March 18: ‘Community Spring Clean Day’ To carry out numerous cleaning tasks around the town. Meeting at the Tourist Information Centre at 10am to finish at midday.

“Alternatively, during the week, residents can choose an area of the town which they believe needs a ‘tidy’, and can tackle the problem at a time which best suits, but please register your interest with Welshpool Town Council,” said a spokesperson.
