Wellingborough Council has initiated a BIG TIDY UP. The scheme aims to motivate local people to volunteer to take action to reduce littering in their neighbourhoods. The Council will promote all community groups taking part in The Big Tidy Up through its Link Magazine (distributed to all residents in the Borough) as champions for environmental improvement. Does anyone want to draw a group together from church to take part? It would bless our community and show the town that the church is on the map! You can find out more by visiting www.thebigtidyup.org. Mary has the Council letter giving more detail.
