Village Litter Pick will be this Saturday…
The annual village litter pick will take place at 10.00 on the morning of Saturday 26th September.
If you can spare some time to help out please could you gather in front of the Old Post Office on the corner of Banbury Lane at 10.00 on 26th September. Litter pickers, protective gloves and rubbish and recycling bags will be provided by CDC. If people have their own gloves, that would be great, as people are urged to protect themselves against any risk of infection, and take care to wash their hands thoroughly after the litter pick has been completed.
Let’s keep Horley looking fabulous!
