North Lanarkshire Council’s Recover NL programme has provided a range of equipment and materials to support local groups who volunteer to keep local communities clean and tidy
For the past two years, McClean Team Alba has regularly carried out litter picking activities across Motherwell and the new equipment has helped their volunteering activities.
Helen Boss from the group told Lanarkshire Live : “The support and donation of litter picking equipment from NLC Community Partnership Team will help our cause significantly.
"It will attract new members now that we can provide pickers and bags and allows our more established members to carry out more litter pick-ups.
“Continually running out of bags or litter pickers breaking and needing replaced did place a financial constraint on the group.
“The new equipment allows our group to be more proactive about clearing our streets and parks - making our communities cleaner and safer areas to enjoy.”
Motherwell South East and Ravenscraig councillor, Kenneth Duffy, told us : “I’d like to congratulate and thank the group and the volunteers for the outstanding work they do for the wider community in Motherwell.
“The new equipment will allow them to hold future events and go from strength to strength.”
If you interested in helping out, please email Helen Boss from McClean Team Alba or get in touch through the group’s Facebook page.
