Annual ‘Quay Clean’ set to take place at the end of the month

This year’s annual Quay Clean will take place from the 27th of March to the 2nd of April. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

The idea is simple, to pick up as much litter as possible from the streets and parks in Connah’s Quay. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Quay Clean is one of many local initiatives happening over this period as part of Keep Wales Tidy’s “Spring Clean Cymru” campaign. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

It is an annual event with sessions happening throughout Connah’s Quay. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

These sessions will involve the general public, schools, local businesses, Flintshire County Council, Connah’s Quay Town Council, Friends of Wepre Park, Keep Wales Tidy and the Our Back Yard project.  ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

There will be several opportunities to get involved over the week and the aim is to make this year’s Quay Clean bigger and better than the last.  ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​
