Brighton Park/Rosefield Park Clean Up

[Guest]

What are you doing on Saturday 24 April at 10am? Brightons Residents Association are holding their annual clean up of Brighton Park and Rosefield Park and we could use some help. The event is supported by Environmental Consumer Services - they supply gloves, litter pickers etc, so all you need to bring is yourself. Kids are welcome, but remember they are your responsibility.

It would be great to see some forum members along. It really is an enjoyable morning - we always collect a huge amount of litter and there is a real feelgood factor in knowing we have done something positive to improve the local environment. Think global, act local! Meet at the entrance to Rosefield Park. See you there?

A great turnout this morning to help us clean up our local parks. We felt that there was less litter compared with previous years, partly no doubt as a result of our efforts in the past but we also have to give credit to the people whose job it is to keep the park clean the other 364 days of the year.

Many thanks to our sponsors - Scotmid (who to their credit insisted on supplying us with only healthy fresh fruit, water and fruit juice) and Early Learning Centre who again provided the goody bags for the kids.

Thanks also to Diane Smith and her team at Env Services for their support, Becky and Brock for organising such a succesful event and, most of all, thanks to everyone who gave up their Saturday morning to help out. You did a great job. Here's a selection of photos taken by Derek. Sadly the swan was found dead in Rosefield Park. We think it flew into a pylon and was electrocuted.
