Village looking spick and span after spring clean
A VILLAGE is looking spick and span after residents took to the streets to spring clean their community.
Around 20 people in Flecknoe spent a couple of hours on Saturday, April 19, collecting rubbish and planting trees.
Susan Thomas who took part in the spring clean said: “Rugby Borough Council decided to have a purge on fly-tipping and the village’s parish council decided to get involved because we get a lot of fly-tipping, especially near the old canal bridge.
“The council supplied pickers, high-vis jackets and lots of bin bags.
“Between 11am and 1pm we collected around 20 bags of rubbish and then three of us went to the allotments where we planted trees, also provided by the borough council, which will also make the place look pretty.”
Everybody who was invited to the pub afterwards for bacon or sausage sandwiches, coffee and hot chocolate courtesy of the parish council.
