RESIDENTS of Chatteris are invited to join the Chatteris Street Pride Group on Saturday October 6 to help them clean up the Wenny Road recreation area for a couple of hours.

The Chatteris Street Pride group is made up of local residents and members of several local community organisations. The Street Pride scheme helps members of the community to work together with Fenland Council to improve their neighbourhood for the benefit of all.

Improvements can be made using a variety of methods including community litter picks, planting additional flowers, creation of a wildlife area or simply reporting environmental problems to the council using new and improved reporting mechanisms.

Volunteers will meet at 2:30pm at the Wenny Road recreation area. Litter pick equipment, including litter pickers, high visibility vests, gloves and bags will be provided.

The clean up events are great fun, good exercise and ideal for meeting like -minded people. Refreshments will be provided afterwards.
