Funding boost for litter picking group

A NEW litter picking group in Daresbury has wasted no time in putting funding from Castle Green Homes to good use.

- 

Daresbury Litter Network received £500 from the homebuilder via Mission Green. The voluntary funding scheme, with an emphasis on sustainability, the environment, health and wellbeing, is linked to the Bridgewater View development.

James Coates, co-founder of Litter Networks, said: "We have a vision to create a safe, clean and vibrant Halton for everyone to live, work and visit.

"Last year the Halton Litter Network collected over 1,000 bags of litter. We're grateful to Castle Green for the Mission Green funding, which will help spearhead the launch of the Daresbury Litter Network to encourage solo picking, and group picking by local residents, youth groups and companies who want to play a role in creating a safe, clean and vibrant Daresbury.
