Dear Editor,

2016 will see a continuation of the regular community litterpicks that make Ross that little bit better. Everyone is welcome, whether they be old hands or newcomers. The dates coming up are: Sunday, January 10th, Saturday, February 6th, Sunday, March 13th and Saturday, April 16th.

We start at 10am, come rain or shine. Just turn up at Edde Cross House, Edde Cross Street on the day. All equipment will be provided but please wear weather-proof clothes and footwear.  Twitter users, please spread the word #rosslitterpick.

There are many people in Ross who regularly pick up litter in their street or area. They don’t do it for the pay (zero), fame or glory. They just do it because they love Ross and want it to look its best. You know who you are, I salute you and wish you in particular a very Happy New Year.

Chris Bartrum, Ross
