Over the weekend of March 16-17th and hopefully with your help, we aim to litter pick the entire Loop. Spring is a good time to litter pick as the vegetation is still low and the footfall is yet to pick up. This event is supported by Friends of the Fallowfield Loop, Sustrans and Keep Manchester Tidy and is part of the wider Great British Spring Clean sponsored by Keep Britain Tidy and others.
It has been a long time since there has been a large organised litter pick on the Loop, but even so I think you would agree that litter levels have been kept in check. This is due to a small army of volunteers who get out under their own steam and do a bit throughout the year. If you are one of them, thank you. If not, why not contribute to the cause by coming out for an hour or two to help with The Big Weekend litter pick ?
The starting points are:
Saturday March 16th 10.00am: Debdale Outdoor Centre car park
Saturday March 16th 2.00pm: The Quadrants, Levenshulme
Sunday March 17th 10.00am: Avian Drive entrance
Sunday March 17th 2.00pm: Sherwood Street, Fallowfield entrance
Registration will take place at the start.
Equipment will be provided. There will be a mid-session break at which refreshments will be served.
We thank Keep Manchester Tidy who, as usual, have agreed to collect the bags of litter if we leave them at a roadside and then inform them.
Looking forward to seeing you then,
Charles Kinniburgh
