NEW BRIGG LITTER BUSTERS GROUP VERY BUSY TIDYING THE TOWN - DAY BY DAY


The new Brigg Litter Busters community group is proving to be very active indeed in helping to tidy the town.
Since our recent post about the launch of Brigg Litter Busters, members have been working with Brigg in Bloom to complete the clearing of discarded items along Atherton Way, and will continue to tackle other areas of the town.
Spokesman Mike Creese now tells us: "It's early days for us yet, as we have only been in action for one week. However, people from the group have been out clearing litter every day since we started.
"We have been working with the Broughton Bloomin Wombles who have been a great support in helping us to launch Brigg Litter Busters. We have also had support offered to us by the local Rotary Club.
"Working collaboratively with other like-minded groups of people, local town & parish councils and county councils is proving to be a fantastic way of making a huge difference in the fight against litter, commercial waste and fly tipping, not just in our local towns and villages but in the surrounding countryside, too."
Mike says the Litter Busters are looking forward to supporting Brigg Town Council's litter picks and the Big Spring Clean event on Saturday, May 29 - "always, of course, taking into account the COVID restrictions in place at the time."
