We're having a party!

Hello everyone
You are invited to join Middlewich Clean Team at a celebration party for the Queen's 90th birthday on June 25th on the corner of Warmingham Lane / Long Lane at 2.00pm
We are hoping that as many of our members as possible will join in the festivities.  There will be music, laughter, fun and some food.   You will need to bring a chair to sit on and your own tipple to drink whatever it might be.   It would be lovely also if you could bring a small plate of food to share.  
We are hoping for sunshine, good company, and a real opportunity to have a thoroughly lovely time together.
Very best wishes
Janet

Next litter pick

Hello everyone

Our next litter pick will be on Monday 16th May, meeting at 2pm at the main Tesco Car Park. I hope this lovely weather stays fine for our litter pick.

I've also attached a message below about a petition about littering, the damage it can do to animals and what we would like the Government to do to help – please take a look.

Have a lovely weekend and see you soon,

Janet

Littering is a big problem in the UK today. It damages ecosystems and results in thousands of animals being hurt and killed every year.

The RSPCA has dealt with many litter-related calls including a fox cub with its head stuck in a wheel hub, a badger cub with a plastic can holder embedded in its neck, and a cat that lacerated its paw on some broken glass. Cigarette butts have been found in the stomachs of many fish and birds. These are just some examples รข€" the RSPCA receives over 7,000 litter-related calls per year.

Take action and sign Jennifer's petition now!

The UK is a litter-ridden country compared to most of Europe. And it is getting worse. Litter costs the taxpayer £850,000,000 a year to clear up. Change is needed.

Care2 petition author Jennifer is demanding that the Government:

  • Invest more in behaviour change campaigns to prevent littering
  • Increase fines for littering
  • Require businesses to keep the perimeters of their premises free from litter
  • Allocate a portion of tobacco levies to help pay for the cost of street cleaning

Sign now to tell DEFRA, the Government Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, to create a national litter strategy for the UK, with a clear framework for action.
