Today (Sunday 6th July) McDonald’s Staff, Sandyford & Goldenhill Residents Association Members, Julie Cooper, Resident Litter Picker for Goldenhill, Oliver Bryan & William Smith, two young people who live in Sandyford collected 13 bags of litter from Sandyford Park, Broadfield Road, Shelford Road & Wignall Road.

The day for collecting litter was a resounding success, although the idea of promoting the event was to educate and encourage young people to dispose of their litter in litter bins or to take it home with them. Unfortunately, the message to involve children with their parents was not the resounding turnout expected by the residents association.

It is hoped by letting children, parents and grandparents know that 13 bags of litter collected within one hour should be enough to allow families to discuss the problem, and to try and educate as many people as possible to dispose of litter sensibly.
