This morning marked the first of the two Town Council's annual "River Rinses".
Three weeks today, the plan is below:
River Rinse Sun October 1, 2017 10:30 AM to 12:00 PMToday, much debris both in and around the river side was collected by a team of upwards of 40 people: townsfolk, TC staff and local councillors. It is a most enjoyable event and I encourage people to come along and take part. You see parts of the town that are often hidden and there is always the excitement of waiting to see what the river pixies will find under the water...!
Bourton Road Car Park
The second of this year’s River Rinses is taking place on Sunday 1st October 10:30am - noon. With the help of Stowe Sub Aqua Group, the fire service and local volunteers, the section of the river from the Bourton Road Car Park up to the Athletic Ground will be cleaned of debris such as tyres, shopping trolleys, bottles and tree branches. (NB: this is an update on the previous edit)
Great thanks, as always, to the Stowe Sub Aqua Club and the local Fire Service who always turn up to help. And great to see so many local townsfolk young and old there! Thanks for coming.
