Litter picking hubs lending equipment

THREE litter picking hubs are now up and running in North Solihull.
Equipment including green bags, vests and the litter pickers themselves is now on loan at Castle Bromwich Library, Chelmsley Wood Connect and Kingshurst Library.
Anyone is welcome to drop in and borrow the kit so long as they sign it out and agree to the guidelines and risk assessment.
Hubs have been set up in response to the growing number of residents who are keen to help clean-up their local community.
A number of groups have been established within the last 12 months, with Smith's Wood and Babbs Mill among those areas where volunteers are getting stuck in.
Coun Alison Rolf, Solihull Council's cabinet member for stronger communities and partnerships, said: "It’s been wonderful to see the growing enthusiasm of residents and their immense pride in keeping Solihull clean, green and tidy.
"There are already lots of established groups across the Borough – but we know there are many more people out there who would like to join in."
