We had a great volunteering day on Earth Day on 22nd April with 20 volunteers heading out to make a huge different in the town. We covered the park in The Whitworth, along the A6, the Oaker estate and the Tippin.
Residents were asked in advance which locations they felt needed a bit of a tidy up and the volunteers, ready with their litter pickers and pink sacks took to the streets to help target these areas.
Mayor Dave Oakley said, “I am really grateful to the dedicated group of volunteers who came out on the day to help tidy up the town. It was really good to see so many people turn up and there was quite an age range, highlighting that those of all ages are happy to get stuck in to help keep Darley Dale tidy.”
Our next litter picking day will be on Saturday 19th August, if you would like to take part, please get in touch with Sarah Rivett – sarah.rivett@darleydale.gov.uk
