Another Success for Community Conservatism in Tamworth


Christopher Pincher, Tamworth’s Conservative Parliamentary Candidate, recently arranged a community clean-up after being approached by local residents. The call went out and over 40 helpers converged on the Bumpy, armed with black bags and litter pickers. In just 3 hours they filled more than 60 bags of rubbish and built up over a tonne of dumped bikes, furniture, car tyres and broken gym equipment. The team spent approximately 120 man-hours on the project – equivalent to one person spending nearly two weeks cleaning up the open space. They also arranged with the Council’s Street Scene team to collect the bags and junk. Another success for Community Conservatism.
