Bedford Borough Council is inviting all local residents to join a community Rivercare Clean Up event on Saturday 21st March from 10am-12pm.
The clean-up will focus on the area alongside the Suspension Bridge on The Embankment. Volunteers will be tasked with litter picking along the riverside, with support from kayakers clearing the banks and scuba divers from Bedford Scuba Divers Club and Dive with Jimmy. The Environment Agency will also be present to assist.
Here’s what you can expect at the event:
All litter-picking equipment is provided by Bedford Borough Council, but if you have your own, please bring it with you.
Support from local clubs.
Refreshments provided by The John Bunyan Boat, moored on the lower river in Mill Meadows.
A complimentary tea/Americano coffee for volunteers who visit The Longholme during the event.
Free parking is available in Bedford Borough Hall car park or in the Mill Meadows Car Park for all participants.
