On the coast and in land, we’re caring for our neighbourhoods! 💚♻️

Shiremoor and West Allotment lead campaigner Caron and our volunteer team were out and about near Boundary Mill today for one of our regular litterpicks in the ward. Always a great sense of achievement to leaving a shared space better than you found it!

If you’re a local Green Party member, keep an eye out for updates from Caron and more information on how to join an upcoming litterpick! 📢🫵
