OxClean: an opportunity to spruce up our environment

Every March, WMRA participates in the annual OxClean event. This an Oxford Civic Society initiative dedicated to keeping Oxford clean and tidy, ensuring that Oxford is a welcoming and pleasant place. It is run in partnership with Oxford City Council and It offers a chance for everyone to help tidy up our joint living space.

This year WMRA has chosen to have our clean up on March 7th, from 10am - 1pm, with participants asked to volunteer for an hour within this window.

All the necessary high viz clothing, litter-pickers, sacks for recyclable and non-recyclable waste will be provided. We ask volunteers to clean a small area in the neighbourhood: a length of street, a public space, or a litter hotspot.

For many years the then WMRA secretary, Mary Pegler, ran the event from outside her house. This year, a new Manager will be in charge: Laura Heybrook, the WMRA Committee member for ‘green spaces’ who lives at 20 Kingston Road.

We are inviting all readers to join in. Please take this chance to show your support for our community. And if you have knowledge of special areas needing attention, please let us know in advance, at waltonmanorra@gmail.com
