Community effort cleans up Bowerhill

Residents have collected 25 bags of rubbish from the Bowerhill area at a recent community litter pick day.

Approximately 40 people helped at the litter pick, which ran for two hours. They collected 10 bags of waste in the residential area of Bowerhill and a further 15 bags from the industrial area.

A member of the Bowerhill Residents’ Action Group, Mark Blackham, said, “We sorted all bags for recycling and took everything to Melksham recycling centre for disposal.

“BRAG would like to thank the community for their support, but especially 1st Bowerhill Scouts and Beavers, as well as the team at The Pilot for allowing us to use their bins for some of the waste.”
