Local residents are being asked to muck in and
help clean-up Melbourne Park on the evening of Monday, 12 July.
As part of the Keep Britain Tidy nationwide
campaign, The Big Tidy Up, Carlisle City Council’s countryside
section has joined forces with members of the Friends of Melbourne
Park and Eden Rivers Trust to organise the community clean-up both
on the park and in the river.
All are welcome to come down and help on the
day. The tidy-up will be held between 6.30pm and 8.30pm and those
wanting to take part should meet at the BMX track. Gloves, litter
pickers and bin bags will be provided.
The litter pick is one of many measures the
City Council has taken to encourage residents and visitors to keep
Carlisle Cleaner, Greener and Safer. For further information about
the clear-up event, please contact the City Council on
01228 817200.
