I would like to thank Cllrs Joanne and Nev Jones for their invitation to join the Keep Aycliffe Tidy team on their inaugural litter pick around parts of the business park. It was good to see community pride in action; no fanfare just a small group of like minded people doing their bit for the community. Along with Nev and Joanne it was good to meet Carol Benson, Dawn and Adrian Monaghan as we cautiously scoured both sides of Millennium Way. In less than two hours we were able to collect nine bags full of discarded litter and rubbish, most of which could have been taken home or disposed of in a more responsible and thoughtful way.
It was both productive and highly satisfying to be able to make a positive difference starting from the ground up. A great team effort and a team I am more than happy to be a part of. Cllr Phillip Hawkins
