Adopt-a-Street Scheme
At the last
meeting of the Environmental Services Committee the Chairman,
Councillor Paul Mason, encouraged all the Councillors on the
committee to join the Adopt-a-Street scheme and set an example for
the rest of the community to follow. The scheme helps make
the Borough of Broxbourne a cleaner and more pleasant place to live
in whilst also instilling a sense of community pride and spirit in
local neighbourhoods.
Recently Broxbourne Council hosted a
delegation of senior councillors from the Royal London Borough of
Windsor and Maidenhead, to find out more about the Adopt-a-Street
scheme as the Royal London Borough plan to introduce a similar
scheme in their area.
The highlight of the visit was joining a group
of Adopt-a-street volunteers litter picking Lordship Road, in
Cheshunt. The visitors were able to test the equipment first
hand and see for themselves how a little effort by the local
community can make a big difference in keeping their street litter
free and make the whole area a much cleaner and pleasant place to
live in. A sense of community pride and spirit was clearly evident
amongst the residents taking part in the litter pick.
Any residents wanting to find out more or
interested in joining the Adopt-a-Street scheme should contact the
Council Helpline on 01992 785577, email recycling@broxbourne.gov.uk
