An announcement from Jane Oxenford

April 5^th  –  Keep Brightling Tidy – Annual Clear-Up 2025

Every year a band of volunteers scour the verges and ditches in Brightling and gather up all the rubbish which thoughtless people have dropped or dumped.  I do hope that you will be able to join in and help with this very necessary task.  It can be fun!  

This year we have chosen Saturday, April 5^th.   Meet in the Village Hall car park at 10am.  If you are already busy on that day, but are willing to help, please let me know in advance and we can sort out the stretch you would like to do, in your own time.

Once again, the Parish Council has generously agreed to buy some more litter-picking sticks and equipment. 

Looking forward to seeing the trusty old gang, and hopefully some new helpers, very soon. 

My huge thanks to those of you who continue to keep your patch litter-free throughout the year.  It makes such a difference!

Remembering of course, David Gasson, who started and organised this annual event for many years.  See The Messenger for details on how to win his memorial certificate.
