Isn’t it lovely that Spring appears to have sprung? It is fantastic to feel the sun on my face again – let’s hope it lasts! It’s certainly put a spring in my step and I’m raring to get going on my Spring cleaning.
If the sun’s put you in the mood for a Spring clean, why not do something different and join the hundreds of volunteers who have signed up to take part in the borough’s biggest ever litter blitz on Saturday March 20 and Sunday March 21?
Litter picks will take place at various times and locations throughout the weekend in Arborfield, Barkham, Earley, Finchampstead, Norreys and Wescott, Sonning, Winnersh, Wokingham, Woodley and in Dinton Pastures, Hurst.
Details on exact locations can be found at: www.wokingham.gov.uk/clean-up.
There is no need to book a place, just turn up, even if you can only spare 30 minutes all help is welcome. (Hurst will be carrying out their clean up on Saturday March 27.)
Last year more than 900 volunteers took part – why not being one of them this year? You can bring your dog – just make sure you clean up after them, using the general waste bins. Rosie and I will be there at some stage – although March 20 is my birthday so I’ll have to say ‘celebrations and hangover allowing!’

I’ll be back with my next online instalment in a fortnight or so – unless, of course, something tickles my fancy or rattles my cage before then! If there’s anything you’d like me to blog on about, please shout! Please also let me know if there is anything you are concerned about in your neighbourhood or the borough as a whole.
Cllr David Lee
Leader of Wokingham Borough Council
