Spring Litter Pick in Midsomer Norton

Plans have been finalised for the town’s Spring Litter Pick which will again be part of the wider Great British Spring Clean with over 600 other clean-ups being planned across the country - despite many events that were arranged for the first weekend in March being postponed. Midsomer Norton Town Council is arranging a special spring litter pick and wants to hear from you if you know of a litter “hot spot” – especially if you can help with other volunteers to clear it up. The Spring Litter Pick on Sunday 29th April starts at the Town Hall at 10:00am and will run until 12 noon. Equipment will be made available to volunteers and refreshments will be provided during the morning. Anyone under 18 needs to be accompanied by an adult. To report a hot spot and/or join in the Midsomer Norton Spring Litter Pick please ring 01761 418701 or visit www.midsomernortontowncouncil.co.uk for further details or just turn up on the day.
