Actions

As a  result of the report, on Saturday 28th April 2012, Katie and Dougie organised a street clean-up in conjunction with members of the Botanical Gate Community Association. Although 80% of people believe the area is clean and tidy, certain streets were seen to be worse than others. A group of volunteers worked hard to collect litter on Ecclesall Road and surounding roads to assist in keeping the area clean and tidy.
