Main Street Clean Up Day
Sunday April 12th
We have locked in our Main Street Clean-Up!
Over the next couple of weeks, businesses in the clean-up area will be visited by a volunteer with an opt-in / opt-out form. This is simply to confirm who would like to be involved, what kind of support is welcome, and which shopfronts can be included on the day.
The businesses covered will be on the main street from Marshall Street to Victoria Street.
The clean-up itself will focus on simple presentation jobs such as:
• brushing down shopfronts
• clearing cobwebs
• cleaning windows
• general frontage tidy-ups
We’re also looking for volunteers to help on the day and professional exterior cleaning services.
If you’d like to be involved, or can lend a hand, please get in touch with us at [email protected]
