I am but a poor demoted ‘Litterpicker’ these days, however having attended this weeks Emergency General Meeting, I have to comment and agree with Michael W, in that in the past few years, many of the group have become ‘very unhappy’ with how things are run and its direction.
I am no longer (and do not wish to be) part of their committee, I was chairman for 6 or 7 years when ‘we appeared’ to be a much happier and focused group, which not only cleared up ‘Tons’ of Litter & Rubbish, but delievred some ‘cracking’ Gateway projects most of which are still here today.
I am not even going into the current and what appears forward issues with some of the group (right or wrong) …. but what I/we must not forget – We are ALL Volunteers.
Previous post today re Platinum Wood and planting of the doffodils…
Here is just one occasion when Whittlesey StreetPriders planted over 250,000 daffodils in our area over a 5 year period, all sponsored by local businesses.
(NO Council money involved).
So come spring when you see these daffodils ‘most’ not all are Whittlesey StreetPride,
in HAPPY DAYS….

Below just ‘some’ of the dozens/hundreds of pictures of HAPPY StreetPriding Days….
