Were you there on 6 April 2013 for our first Big Spring Clean as part of the 'Litter Free Durham' initiative?
If you were, you will remember a sunny Saturday morning, a small crowd of residents and children gathering in the lane, tea and cake being served from our canteen and a truck-load of rubbish and debris being taken away by Street Scene.
Well, by popular request, we are to launch another Big Spring Clean on Sunday 3 April 2016.
Meet in the back lane from 10.00 am, and we shall tackle the lane, the bank and - if you are up for it - the front of the terrace. We reckon that a couple of hours should see the job done.
Should the day turn out to be too wet and cold, we have an option to put the event off until the following weekend.
For the day, we are planning to close the western lane to traffic - partly for your safety, and partly to enable other social events to take place in the back lane. This is part of a wider initiative to 'reclaim' the use, control and care of our lanes. We shall be reserving free parking on the terrace for those few who might want to move cars during the day.
So, put the date in your diary now before you forget!
