    Starbeck estate gets a clean up after increase in litter

    Members of the Starbeck community got together to go litter-picking after they noticed an increase in rubbish in the area. 


    A group of 10 adults and children filled 20 bin bags in two hours cleaning up the Dalby Estate. 


    Starbeck residents have a history of community action - a large number of volunteers took part in The Big Help Out on the weekend of the King's Coronation.

    Joanne Hope, one of the litter-pickers involved on the Dalby Estate, told the Stray Ferret: 



    “This all started a few weeks ago when we noticed Panhandle Park, Starbeck, in a state.
    "I thought I'd set up a Facebook page to help support each other and pull together as a community. This then led to the litter picking session.” 


    Ms Hope added: 



    “The guys who turned up did so well, and I’m so proud of everyone”. 


    The group now plans to meet regularly to get the community cleaner, eventually venturing out to other areas in the future.
