Volunteers across Newham have taken part in a citywide litter pick

Thursday 23rd March, 2023

Newham Business Improvement District (BID) teamed up with Truro BID and other local organisations for the clean-up this month.

The event was the fifth Truro City Clean Up and organisers were delighted with the turnout this year.

Staff from businesses in Newham and across the city, along with local residents and community groups were out in force, litter picking, sign washing and removing unwanted stickers and cable ties.

Newham’s litter picks took place on March 17 and March 18.

Newham BID Manager Mel Richardson thanked the volunteers – including the City of Truro Sea Cadets & Royal Marines Cadets - who turned out to do their bit, despite the wet weather.

"It was great to see people of all ages turn up to help at the litter pick on Newham,” said Mel. “We managed to collect quite a few bags of rubbish over the two days.

"Events like this really help to bring our businesses and organisations together and makes everyone feel part of a real community effort."
