What do you get if you find 15 bags of rubbish, two bikes, a pram, a scooter and a strimmer?……
….a hot-pot dinner! Well at least you would have if you helped clean-up watercourses in Whaley Bridge for MWH Mersey Basin Week this year.
Seventeen people turned out for the weekend events that were organised by Whaley Bridge Amenity Society and the Friends of the Memorial Park. However, because of the recent downpours, the litter pickers were confined to the banks and sadly did not get to use their waders.

High Peak Borough Council Parks department supported the events by helping with publicity, equipment and a lorry to take the rubbish away.
Other events organised by the Society during the week were guided walks along the Peak Forest Canal to Bugsworth Basin and to Brookfield Pond Local Nature Reserve and Todd Brook Reservoir.
