The community came together recently for the Great Bowerhill Spring Clean, with residents, local Beavers and Scouts joining forces for a litter pick on a sunny Saturday morning.
Around 35 Beavers and Scouts, along with their parents, took part, and approximately another 15 members of the general public attended, collecting rubbish over the course of two hours.
The spring clean was organised by the Bowerhill Residents Action Group (BRAG). Chair Mark Blackham said, “The groups covered a large area of the village, locating specially hidden tags to win prizes, as well as collecting a massive amount of rubbish along the way.
“We collected 10 large sacks of rubbish, four sacks of recyclable waste, and even a metal bedstead. It is encouraging that the event is growing in popularity each year, allowing us to increase the area we cover on the day.”
Following the event, the group distributed sunflower planting packs for children to pot and nurture before planting them in their gardens. Prizes will be awarded for the best entries posted on the BRAG Facebook page.
“We would like to thank Tim from Bowerhill Beavers and James at The Pilot for their continued invaluable support,” Mark added.
