Rempstone Village Welcomes You....

Many Hands…….

Villagers Turn Out in Force for Clean Up

Rempstone villagers spent an active and very warm Saturday morning taking part in the village clean up.

Over thirty members of the community assembled at the Village Hall to collect bin bags, protective gloves, litter pickers and high vis jackets.

Then it was off to spend a busy morning clearing the verges, road sides and lay byes of rubbish, weeds, hay and straw that had collected over the months.

The clean up, an initiative of Rempstone Parish Council was supported by Cemex who provided the safety jackets, and members of the Village Hall committee who served welcome tea, coffee and bacon butties to those taking part.

It was great to see so many villagers coming out and spending their Saturday morning doing this work, commented Nicki Dalton, vice-chair of Rempstone Parish Council. ‘With less funding available for routine highway maintenance from local authority it is good to keep the village looking as neat and tidy as possible and we hope that visitors to the Village Fete next weekend will appreciate our efforts”, she added.
