Date set for next community clear up day in Horncastle

It is taking place on Thursday (September 17) between 10am and noon.

Duties will include litter picking, weeding, sweeping and generally aiming to spruce the town up to make it as welcoming as possible.

Those interested in taking part should meet at Stanhope Hall, in Boston Road.

All equipment will be provided and refreshments will also be available.

Deputy town clerk, Michelle Moss, revealed that the event has been scheduled for a weekday–as opposed to a weekend – after requests from several residents.

The August community clear up day saw more than 40 volunteers attend.

The day was organised in conjunction with Horncastle Traders’ Association.

Speaking at last month’s Horncastle Town Council meeting, Mayor Councillor Fiona Martin said: “I want to thank everybody who

attended the community clear-up event.

“I have never seen such a good attendance by councillors and other members of organisations in the town and by Horncastle Trade Association as well.

“I thought that it was a tremendous effort and I would like to thank everybody associated with organising the event and those that came out to help.”
