Sherborne In Bloom!

Cllr Peter Rhodes is leading a project with Sherborne Area Partnership to work with local people and councillors to help clean up our streets.

Litter is a continuing concern for our residents and a growing expense for the Council. Unless we do something about it, the problem of litter will soon get out of control and become very costly to deal with. The Council is taking the lead on tackling litter by launching this ‘SHERBORNE STOP THE LITTER CAMPAIGN’ but we all need to start to take responsibility for our rubbish.

The Council wants to convey a sense of shared responsibility with the public in keeping Sherborne clean. To this end we are looking for support from the general public, traders and community groups to be part of an anti-litter campaign.

An open meeting has been called at the Digby Hall, Hound Street (next to the Library) on Wednesday 8 September from 2:00pm – 4:00pm. Come and learn more about this initiat and how you can help. Bring your volunteer spirit along.

For more information please contact Cllr Peter Rhodes 01935 812807 or Caroline Rowland on 01935 816961.

We hope this campaign will discourage people from dropping litter to keep Sherborne an attractive place for residents and visitors. Reducing litter will not only have a positive effect on the environment but it will also reduce the amount of taxpayers’ money we have to spend each year on dealing with it.
