Bracknell BID organised a Tidy Day on 12th July between 12pm and 2pm, for businesses within the Southern and Western Business Areas to take part in community litter picking on their lunch break.
The Tidy Day fulfil the BID’s aims to develop amenities and schemes, benefits and events for those who work in the BID area to promote the feeling of community, pleasant surroundings, and a sense of well-being. The Tidy Days are part of the BID’s wider strategy in working to maintain and improve the general condition and appearance of roads, footpaths, cycleways and grass verges throughout the BID area, with the BID already funding works at Farleymoor Lake, Longshot lane, Cookham Road, Western Road and Downmill Road.
Over the lunchtime, the Tidy Day volunteers covered a significant part of the Bracknell BID area, cleansing Western Road, Western Trade Centre, Downmill Road, Farleymoor Lake, Cookham Road, Waterside Park, Milbanke Way, Downshire Way, Longshot Lane, Easthampstead Road, the footpath on Oldbury to Downmill Road, gravel footpath on Oldbury to Longshot Lane, as well as the adjacent woodland footpath by Longshot Lane.
Bracknell BID would like to thank everyone who participated in our Tidy Days, the luncthime event had an excellent turnout from businesses from the Southern and Western Business Area with 20 workers volunteering over their lunch break. We collected over 45 bags of litter and this has made a substantial difference in keeping Bracknell tidy.
We would like to thank Dell, Stepping Stones, NEP Group and Bracknell Forest Council for supporting the Tidy Days.
