Clean for the Queen

Audlem Canal & River Trust contributed to the national "Clean for the Queen" event, which took place on Saturday the 5th of March.

Fantastic turn out with no less than 9 volunteers and a total of 18 full refuse sacks along with a bucket of broken glass was collected from the canal side, car parks, access and egress paths to the canal and the land embankment between the canal/Shroppie Fly car park and the playing field.

Not only has the village of Audlem and canal users benefited from the tidy up but the removal of such a huge quantity of broken glass from the edge of the playing field and access areas makes it a safer environment for all.

The volunteers enjoyed the day being out in the sunshine, along with hot soup, homemade cakes and biscuits. It was also nice to see the spring flowers planted by the volunteers in recent years blooming with colour along the canal.

A big thank you to all who attended and supported, making the canal from Coxbank to the Marina a better environment for all.
