Spring Clean Up in Malpas
A community came together to clear three skip loads of rubbish in a rural village near Chester.
Chester & District Housing Trust (CDHT) held the Clean Up Day at Springfield Road, Malpas where residents were also offered free advice and home safety visits from Cheshire Fire Safety Advocates. The skips were funded jointly by the Trust’s Community Intervention Budget and by Cheshire West & Cheshire Council.
Paula Marshall, CDHT Community Housing Officer, said:
“We are really pleased with the response in Malpas. This is a facility for all residents, not just those from the Trust, where bigger items that cannot be disposed of with domestic rubbish can be cleared. Everything that is collected is recycled.”
To make an appointment for a free fire safety assessment and to fit free smoke alarms please call Cheshire Fire Safety on freephone number: 0800 3890053.
