It may have been a dreary Sunday, but that didn’t hold back the spirits of the Cranham Lib Dem team taking up the task of cleaning up some litter across the ward.

Two weeks ago when taking a walkabout, I noticed the top of Front Lane looking quite shabby with a plethora of litter and in particular a milk bottle!  

I’ve always been proud to live in such a well kept place, but there seems to be some spots that build up rubbish and it takes quite a while for it to get sorted.  Having enough bins, equipment to loan to street teams, and active councilors are all issues we should look at.

Aside from Front Lane there’s also Moor Lane, particularly among grass verges outside properties.  There’s only one bin down the whole long road, near Tern Gardens.  As a large number of school students going to and from Hall Mead School pass this way (and with Tescos between home and school), it may be an area that needs to be looked at.

We set upon clearing up some streets between these two set borders and here’s a little evidence of our work – I actually quite enjoyed it!  With more help, we can cover a larger area next time.

Streets included:

• Front Lane
• Moor Lane
• Cranham Gardens
• Limerick Gardens
• Kings Gardens
• Brunswick Avenue (where we found a whole extra smelly bag of food waste on the pavement)
• The Crescent
• Roseberry Gardens
