Residents’ clean-up an example to others
The clean-up group wants cleanliness to be the first thing people see when they enter the community
RESIDENTS of Victor Lawler Road encourage Wentworth residents to take ownership of their area and get involved in cleaning their community.
Armed with their own tools, the Victor Lawler residents took to the road and began cleaning up, picking up litter, trimming trees and raking verges.
“Litter in communities is an environmental, health and safety hazard. Litter affects physical health, can cause fires, smelly odours, block stormwater drains, place children at risk, provide a breeding ground for insects and rodents, destroy bird and plant life and create a negative image in the community,” said resident, Gary Stevens.
