Volunteers roll up their sleeves for a clean and tidy to show love for town
The second Super Sunday Clean-Up, the initiative of the Ludlow Regeneration Group, was another super success with volunteers turning up for duty despite the weather forecasting rain.
Starting this time from Taste at No 1 near the Butter Cross, with free coffee on offer by Andy and Kirsten for the ‘early birds’, 15 enthusiastic cleaners arrived with their mops and buckets, brushes and brooms, dustpans and dusters, weeding trowels and forks, keen to tackle the streets and shop fronts in the centre of Ludlow ready for the town’s Winter Festival next weekend.
“I thought the first Super Sunday Clean-Up in September was fantastic,” said Carmel Wilson who leads the Regeneration Group with Tracey Richardson, “but this second event was even better! We had more people coming out on a cold November day than I expected, all smiling and all raring to go. The atmosphere was amazing from start to finish.”
The Regeneration Group, part of the Ludlow Residents Group, is actively looking at creative ways involving the community to make and keep the centre of Ludlow looking attractive and loved.
“The town benefits from a monthly litter pick, organised by Pride of Place, and the Super Sunday Clean Ups are an addition to that,” Tracey Richardson added. “Everybody who puts their time and effort and energies into these initiatives is showing just how much Ludlow is loved.”
The Super Sunday events will happen before all of Ludlow’s main festivals with the next clean-up scheduled for May 2025 ahead of the Spring Food Festival. Details can be found on the Ludlow Regeneration Group Facebook page or by emailing ludlowregenerationfocusgroup@gmail.com.
